Expanded lineages
0.25.0: Reef, Boreal and Abyssal Beacon were removed; existing specimens migrate to Coral, Blizzard and Bioluminescent. New concepts. Player guide · Evolution · Companion combat
Version 0.24.0 adds 16 acquired species, for a total of 60. None of these sixteen spawns naturally. Breeding creates a new child at level 1; metamorphosis preserves the individual, UUID, genes, keeper, level, orders and inventory.
Six new crosses
| Parents, in either order | Child |
|---|---|
| Coral Slime + Luminous Slime | Bioluminescent Slime |
| Floral Slime + Hive Slime | Pollinator Slime |
| Ice Slime + Wind Slime | Blizzard Slime |
| Iron Slime + Crystal Slime | Geode Slime |
| Obsidian Slime + Soul Slime | Ash Guardian Slime |
| Sand Slime + Electric Slime | Fulgurite Slime |
The complete registry has 79 breeding pairs: 62 same-species pairs and 20 crosses. Phoenix cannot breed; each specimen must complete its own ritual. Existing care, ancestry, population, food and cooldown checks apply.

All ordinary routes require age 48,000 ticks and the listed gene at 0.65 or higher; advanced routes require age 96,000 ticks and gene 0.85 or higher. Minimum needs: comfort 60, energy 60, hunger at most 40, an adult with a keeper and no combat. Catalyst use rechecks all conditions before spending one item. Exposure advances only while valid and pauses otherwise.

Abilities and limits
- Geode Slime: Stores received impacts and releases a fragment shockwave.
- Pollinator Slime: Healing pollen restores nearby allies and weakens its marked target.
- Blizzard Slime: Frost bolts build chill; three hits briefly root ordinary enemies.
- Fulgurite Slime: A focused glass lance exposes armour without chaining to other enemies.
- Bioluminescent Slime: Living light marks a target, increasing damage from companions of the same keeper.
- Ash Guardian Slime: An ash shield retaliates against its attacker when its absorption breaks.
- Mirage Slime: Creates a short-lived decoy that distracts ordinary attackers; bosses resist it.
- Steel Slime: Reduces physical damage and fractures the armour of its target.
- Cordyceps Slime: Implants spores that burst after three further allied companion hits.
- Resonant Slime: A vibration pulse interrupts ordinary enemies and exposes a weak point.
- Volcanic Slime: Received impacts build pressure for a concentrated eruption.
- Adamantine Slime: A slow fortress with reinforced armour and an impact-powered shockwave.
- Phoenix Slime: Prevents one nearby ally’s defeat per boss encounter, with a five-minute cooldown shared by the keeper.
Light marks add 5%, 10% or 15% damage according to their source and apply only to companions with the same keeper. Cordyceps requires three further accepted companion hits; rejected hits and other keepers do not advance the implant. Frost control has shared immunity; the new freeze and interrupt abilities do not hard-stun bosses. Mirage decoys last three seconds and cannot be saved, captured, bred or looted. Boreal reduces incoming projectile damage by 25% while its ward lasts.
Phoenix: an adult following its keeper can prevent a nearby player or bonded slime from dying, within eight blocks and line of sight, with 24 energy. The victim returns at 30% health with two seconds of resistance. The five-minute cooldown belongs to the keeper, is shared by all Phoenix copies, survives saving and player respawn, and does not reset when a guardian is captured. A living boss that already triggered this protection cannot trigger it again, even after the timer. Administrative damage bypasses this protection.
