Description

Metal Gel is the metallic branch of the gel line. It keeps the same hopping body-slam behavior, but the body looks denser and it is explicitly weak to pickaxes.

It has less health than a full Gel, but it still closes space the same way and hits on contact when a jump lands with speed. Fighting it like a normal slime works, but matching the pickaxe weakness is cleaner.

Metal Gels show up in harsher places such as Dungeon Space, City, Farlands, Meat Flower, and later dungeon layers. The reason to farm them is the drop table: goo plus mercury tendrils.
