What causes bad slimes in Slime Rancher?

The Tarr, also known as bad slimes, are formed when a Largo eats a plort unlike the ones it produces, resulting in a terrible transformation that turns the slime into a sludge filled with a swirling, prismatic array of colors and a relentless appetite. This transformation occurs because the Largo is consuming a plort that is not genetically compatible with its own plort production, causing a mutagenic reaction that creates the Tarr.

Understanding Tarr Slimes

Characteristics of Tarr Slimes

Tarr slimes are hostile and aggressive, seeking only to consume and replicate. They are a significant threat to the slime ecosystem and can devastate an entire colony of slimes if left unchecked.

Dealing with Tarr Slimes

To eliminate a Tarr, it is recommended to throw it into the Slime Sea or an Incinerator. If these options are not available, spraying the Tarr with fresh water or dumping it into a pool of water can also be effective.
