Slim
Slims are tall Gaper-like enemies that slowly pace after Isaac, swiping at him if he draws too close. If they hit an obstacle, they will freeze up in pain while spraying blood projectiles in random directions from their wounded arm. They may spawn a Limb on death, with decreased chances if they've previously damaged their arm.
Slims can destroy some obstacles such as Poop with their swipes.
Notes
- Slims will also damage their arms when striking the player, if they are:
Apollyon
Tainted Apollyon
Golem
- Under the effects of the
VII - The Chariot? or
Tooth and Nail.
Limb
Limbs are stationary disembodied arms. They will hop erratically towards Isaac when he is within range.
Variants
Pale Slim
Pale Slims behave identically to normal Slims but very slightly faster. They can spawn Jims or Pale Limbs on death.
Jim
Jims wander around randomly behaving like Pacers, and will periodically swipe in random directions. Jims can occasionally spawn a Pale Limb upon death.
Pale Limb
Pale Limbs behave similarly to normal Limbs, but constantly emit a tiny puddle of red creep.
Slim Shady
Slim Shadies are a Dark Room exclusive variant of Slims. They periodically dash towards Isaac before swiping at him while chasing. After dashing three times, Slim Shadies will jump in place, creating a ring of explosions around them and a second, larger ring indicated by red circles that explodes shortly after.
If they hit an obstacle while trying to hit Isaac, a ring of 10 spectral projectiles will be sent out from the point of impact. The Slim Shady will not be stunned like their counterparts.
Similar to their counterparts, they can spawn a Red Hand on death.
Red Hand
Red Hands are stronger variants of Limbs that may appear inside the Dark Room. Shortly after spawning, they will glow intensely before flying after Isaac, periodically leaving projectiles behind while doing so.
