Black slimes, also referred to as metal slimes even though they are not made of metal are called this due to their unique traits. They are thicker than their counterparts and no longer transparent. They are also less drippy than most slimes because of this. THey tend to make their homes in forges or mines.

Taste: Black slimes taste heavily of black licorice for some unknown reason.
