A tropical slime was a variant of a slime with a water-based texture filled with tropical fish.
Behavior
Tropical slimes had the same behavior as slimes. Tropical slimes hopped around while being able to swim in water and climb ladders.
Unlike regular slimes, tropical slimes were passive toward the player at first. However, when a tropical slime was provoked, it became aggressive and attacked, but they were still classified as hostile mobs in the Journal. This affected only slimes that were attacked, and did not trigger other slimes in the area to attack.
Even though a tropical slime was the size of a medium-sized slime, it did not split into smaller slimes when killed.

Quotes
The Tropical Slime is making a big splash in Minecraft Earth! This aquatic ooze travels with a school of fishy friends and brings a beachy feel to any Buildplate.
It's of-fish-ial:
🐠 The Tropical Slime is here! 🐠
Have you managed to catch this fin-tastic new Mob yet? Reel us in with your best fish puns in the replies.
Tropical Slime:
I created the model, texture and animated fish for the Tropical Slime based on a concept from Mattel. This mob was also designed by the MCE team and Mattel and is a watery fishy version of the traditional Minecraft slime. This mob was also revisited later in its development to add swimming fish in its inner cube.
