Most of the time, higher tier monsters have all the abilities of preceding tiers, with increased intensity.
Drop Traits by Tier
All Tiers
Glop Drops are a very unusual jelly strain. Their form of locomotion is by "rolling" like a ball. And what makes them even more unique is their form of attacking by transforming into an "Attack Form", which is turning into a puddle in which you can take damage by walking over it.
Attacks more frequently in deeper Tiers.
Strategy
Guide: Drop Combat
Glop Drops will normally spawn in large colonies, and can very easily swarm you with their attack formations that lock on to players. As they have no eyes or a head, it is really difficult to know that player is watching before attacking. The best way to get rid of a pack of Glop Drops is with the charge of the Acheron. Dark Retribution, Shivermist Buster or Gran Faust are good options too. The Divine Avenger does not do as much damage, but it is still adequate to keep back the slimes because of the extended attack range. (Same goes with the Gran Faust.)
This monster behaves like the others. See above strategy for combat and equip effective gear.
Combat

Loot is dropped when the monster is defeated. The loot that drops is random. Sometimes loot isn't dropped at all. This list is simply a pool of possible loot.
Random spawns also apply to missions with floors that have geography similar to the relevant arcade area. The normal version of a monster can sometimes spawn instead of the status version in areas themed with a status, unless the spawn is guaranteed. See Gate Maps for details.
