Caramel Cube

Caramel Cubes are rare hostile mobs found in the Candy Cavity. They are stronger slimes that release movement-impeding puddles of melted caramel upon taking damage.

Cave Compendium Entry

"Caramel Cubes are slime like creatures partially encased in a wrapper. These oozing monsters will hop after any adventurer who ventures into the Candy Cavity, and if hit will leak some of their melted caramel nearby. These temporary caramel puddles will slow down their prey if stepped in, making it so that a large amount of Caramel Cubes can quickly slow down even a strong target. Caramel Cubes come in a variety of sizes, each one bigger and stronger than the prior. If a Caramel Cube is slain, it will split into smaller cubes. The smallest of these may drop some of their Caramel on death..."

- Dr. Prof. Alexander Caverns, PhD.

Spawning

Caramel Cubes can spawn anywhere in the Candy Cavity in groups of 2-3.

Behavior

Caramel Cubes act similarly to standard slimes, mindlessly hopping after players in a 16-block radius and never attacking other mobs - in addition to this, they come in 3 different sizes, with larger Caramel Cubes boasting higher health, attack strength, and jump height in addition to spawning a group of smaller ones upon dying. Upon taking any kind of damage, they will release puddles of melted caramel that stick to the ground and walls for 2 seconds before disappearing, slowing down players and mobs that step on them for that duration of time. A Caramel Cube will release a different amount of melted caramel puddles depending on how big it is - big and medium Caramel Cubes will release 2 puddles (with the former occasionally releasing 3), while small Caramel Cubes will release only one.

Similarly to Magma Cubes, small Caramel Cubes can still damage players by falling on them.

As creatures of candy, Caramel Cubes are able to fall on Sugar Glass without breaking it.

Trivia

• Similarly to Guardians, Caramel Cubes will follow players with their eyes.
• Caramel Cubes use similar sounds to standard slimes, albeit pitched down and underlaid with cellophane-like crinkling noises.
• Unlike with standard slimes and Magma Cubes, small Caramel Cubes have a different texture from large and medium ones, for the purpose of ensuring accurate pixel resolution.
