==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
A Slime stack is simply an organized stack of three different {{Slime}}s: a [[Slime|blue one]] on the bottom, a [[She-slime|red one]] in the middle, and a [[Lime slime|green one]] on top. According to their bestiary entry in {{IX}}, a Slime stack is the result of a failed attempt at forming a [[King slime]], as there were not enough Slimes to do so.

Given that they are three {{Slime}}s working together, they are fairly formidable when first confronted and especially exceed the sum of their parts. They attack by separating and launching themselves at enemies.

*The Slime stack, along with its related kin, are possibly a reference to a game-play mechanic in the ''[[Slime MoriMori (series)|Slime MoriMori]]'' series where it is possible to stack things on a slime, such as objects and monsters, including other Slimes.

*It is unknown if the Green slime in the slime stack is intended to be a [[Lime slime]]. In some games, such as {{X}}, the Green slime is the very same kind as the one ridden by a [[Slime knight]].
