Bark Slime

Bark Slimes are a rare type of slime found in the Moss Blanket. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, but can be most easily identified by their unique barking noises.

Diet:
Bark Slimes are omnivores and eat everything from meat to fruits and veggies. They have a strong preference for meat, however, and can die of malnutrition if they are only fed plant-based foods.

Their favorite food is the Hen Hen.

Slimeology
Bark Slimes are regarded as "man's best friend in space" by many ranchers. Since it is dangerous to bring earthly canines onto slime ranches, ranchers have resorted to the next best thing: domesticating the wild dog-like slimes on this world. As a result of selective breeding and constant human contact, the modern Bark Slime comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Their most identifiable features, however, are their dog-like ears, tails, and their unique barking noises that they create.

Rancher Risks
Although Bark Slimes can bite, they prefer not to. Even wild Bark Slimes do not view humans as a threat, and only attack if forced to.

Plortonomics
Bark Slime plorts have minimal use. In general, Bark Slimes are only kept as companions, and are rarely farmed for their plorts. More often than not, Bark Slime plorts are discarded more than they are sold on the market.

 * Some are even used as guards.
 * Most Bark Slimes do not get along well with Tabby Slimes.
