Slime that gives you money without parrot trinket?!?

[Luccc08]

Hi everyone!

1st Spring, Year 1 (Sat 27th)
I was gathering iron in the mines and progressing down the levels and on level 64 or so I encountered a bigger bunch of slimes. One of them was yellow - bright yellow.

First I thought nothing of it, yellow slimes exist so I just started getting rid of them to find the damn stairs right AND when I finished the yellow one off - IT DROPPED MONEY !!!! About 250 G or so. I was so in shock I was not paying much attention.

I know this is quite normal once you have the trinket parrot egg, but I DO NOT! Just me, my Iron Edge and Combat level 3.
I am bamboozled. Has this ever happened to anyone? Or is it some sort of glitch or even better an easter egg?

Please let me know
Thank you!

Yep. Those golden slimes do give you gold. 0.1% chance of a slime being that color though. More often when they appear yellow, they drop gold ore.

The gold ones can be be "special" too (with a little star above their head). I've only ever encountered one once. Sorry, I don't seem to have a picture :/

Now THOSE are rare
