This mass of poisonous pink goo slips across the ground in search of a warm meal.

T'he pink jelly does not regenerate, divides in two when struck and never sleeps.

Every time you hit a pink jelly without killing it, the hp it has left over will be split into two pink jellies. The second one is placed via the following algorithm:

• Find all pink jellies adjacent to the one struck. Also include the player if it was a melee attack.

• Find every open square horizontally/vertically adjacent to this group.

• Pick one at random.

From this, it follows that the best places to melee a jelly from are, from best to worst:

• In a niche where only one can reach you regardless. (Note that stairs count as solid and that jellies cannot swim!)

• In a doorway with the jelly in the room part and a corridor behind you. (1/4 chance of spawning behind you, 1/3 if the pink jelly is up against a wall)

• In a doorway with a room on both sides, OR in a corridor. (1/2 chance of spawning behind you)

If you have at least one ally, a corridor can be just as good as a niche; if the ally stands behind you, the jellies won't be able to spawn there, so they can only attack from one side. Whenever a jelly splits behind you, focus on the the side that has less/weaker jellies currently on it.

Additionally, newly cloned jellies cannot move for one turn. Exploit this to your advantage: Wield an axe!

When a jelly divides, both of the new jellies keep all status effects that were on the old one. This means that if you discord a jelly before attacking, it will quickly turn on itself. Fire and poision are also very effective on jellies.

Pink jellies have a tougher relative: the black jelly, a boss monster.

Pink Jellies are represented by a light pink J.
