Slime Larva

Slime Larvae are the undeveloped form of slimes that are found in the Twilight Zone. Slime Larvae typically wriggle around but stay in place. They are the only known source of Larva Gel, which can be used to make Larva Torches.

They have no defense, damage, or knockback resistance in their undeveloped form, as well as very low maximum life, making them very vulnerable to players wishing to harvest Larva Gel.

Like normal slimes, there are many different variants of Slime Larvae, with the color of the larvae corresponding to the matching slime. However, there are only slime larvae for the basic slime types, so special biome-based and Hardmode slimes (i.e. Corrupt Slime, Crimslime, Lava Slime, Dungeon Slime, Illuminant Slime, Gastropod, etc.) cannot be found. The exception to the special slime rule is Pinky.

Slime larvae are the only life found in the Twilight Zone, though they might be considered Critters instead of monsters or enemies, due to their passive, non-hostile and vulnerable state. Slime larvae (along with Twilight Ore) are the only unique features of the Twilight Zone, besides how it is accessed and its background.
