Brain Slimes

These new fiendish slimes have taken over the beaches and the nether! They are much more dangerous than the old slimes, due to their enhanced abilities and grouping powers.

Cute, but wants to eat your brains.

One thing's for sure: They like heads. In fact, brain slimes have trained hard and developed their jumping skill to an expert level just so they can reach your head from afar! If you're in sight, a brain slime will charge up its jump (with a warning noise) and leap towards you. If they get close enough to your head, they will latch right on!

Yes, that is as painful as it looks.

Brain slimes aren't all fun and games though. Once they attach to your head, all except the tiniest slimes will begin to eat away at your health. They can even stack up on top of each other and combine their strength to attack you with immense power!

OH GOD THE SKY IS GONE

There are four different sizes of brain slimes and the largest is the strongest. Each size has more HP, a stronger attack, and is harder to remove than the last. The largest does 1.5HP per hit, has 8 health, and is tough to get off. The smallest is completely harmless. Up to 10 slimes can be stacked on your head at once, and they are light enough that they won't crush you either.

Gotta love diversity.

Brain slimes spawn in both the normal world and the Nether. In the normal world, brain slimes spawn on sand or gravel, very close to sea level. Look for them on beaches. In the Nether, they can spawn basically anywhere. Watch out if you see them in water: they disguise pretty well and their jumping distance is GREATLY increased.

Do you like my hat?

Last thing to note, different sizes of brain slimes spawn on different difficulties. On peaceful mode, all you'll see are level 1 slimes, but on easy, you'll see level 1 and level 2 slimes. Play on hard to get all four of them. If you decrease the difficulty while playing, all existing harder slimes will decrease in size accordingly.
