Unlike its cubic cousins, Lichens tend to ooze along towards the player. They also move faster than Jelly Cubes, and some Lichens develop a projectile attack in later tiers.

Unlike their cubic cousins, Lichens can be a little more tricky in a fight; if they can't merge together to create a larger singular being which eventually evolves into more dangerous forms, then they're able to cause statuses. Unlike most monsters which have identical attack patterns across different themed variations, Lichen attacks can vary depending on their [[Status]], even being able to benefit from being afflicted with one. The [[Soul Jelly]] is the sole exception to this rule, as it cannot merge or inflict a Status.
  
 
Lichens can inflict normal and piercing damage.

|description=As a basic member of the slime family, a Lichen is not a particularly threatening monster. Lichens often appear in packs, which is when they can become more difficult to deal with. These slimes have the ability to meld together, healing themselves and eventually becoming so large that they develop into a Lichen Colony.

|description= Aside from their larger size, Lichen Colonies also become barbed. This gives them a long-ranged spin attack which shoots spines in random directions. A Lichen Colony can fuse with even more Lichens to become a Giant Lichen Colony, though they seem unable to fuse with other Lichen Colonies.

|description=For newly adventuring Knights, it is advisable to avoid allowing a Giant Lichen Colony to form. Along with a "thorn roots" attack, Giant Lichen Colonies can dash around to chase fleeing knights. Fortunately, although Giant Lichen Colonies can absorb other Lichens and grow slightly bigger, it can no longer evolve. This is among the most threatening of all Lichens.

** The resulting Lichen has full health and is cured of status effects.
** The bigger they get, the harder they hit you
+
** Ten normal Lichens make a Lichen Colony, and sixteen make a Giant Colony. It is important to notice that any combination of the sort can get you one. For example: merging two quintuple Lichens (Lichens made by merging five normal Lichens) also results in a colony. Merging a sextuple Lichen (a Lichen made by merging six normal Lichens) with a Colony gets you a Giant Colony.
** For more skilled players, it may be beneficial to let them form into giant colonies before attacking so you will get increased heat
+
** Differently-sized Lichens look slightly different in size and have several visible cores. It is important to note which is which. The same applies to Colonies and Giant Colonies, so you can know the number of total Lichens in each.
 +
** Giant Colonies have unlimited Lichen absorption, but may only do so when damaged, to regain full health.
 +
** The more cores a Lichen has, the more health it has and damage it deals. This is capped at 21 cores maximum. Lichens that join a colony afterwards will not increase its power nor the amount of loot dropped after its death any further.
 +
*** Some Colonies that were already in Colony form when they spawned will have only one core. This means they will be weaker compared to Colonies formed from ten smaller Lichens. When a single-core Colony merges with another small Lichen, its core amount gets bumped back to proper value.

Lichen are a type of enemy encountered in the Clockworks.

Traits

Unlike their cubic cousins, Lichens can be a little more tricky in a fight; if they can't merge together to create a larger singular being which eventually evolves into more dangerous forms, then they're able to cause statuses. Unlike most monsters which have identical attack patterns across different themed variations, Lichen attacks can vary depending on their Status, even being able to benefit from being afflicted with one. The Soul Jelly is the sole exception to this rule, as it cannot merge or inflict a Status.

Lichens can inflict normal and piercing damage.

Types

Lichen

Abilities
  • Tackle Attack normal icon.png
  • Merge with small Lichens, Lichen Colonies or Giant Lichen Colonies
Location Drops
Description

As a basic member of the slime family, a Lichen is not a particularly threatening monster. Lichens often appear in packs, which is when they can become more difficult to deal with. These slimes have the ability to meld together, healing themselves and eventually becoming so large that they develop into a Lichen Colony.

  • Tier 1: Basic lichens are encountered.
  • Tier 2: Lichens are encountered as two lichens merged together. They form colonies faster.
  • Tier 3: Lichens are encountered as three lichens merged together. They form colonies incredibly fast.


Lichen Colony

Lichen Colony

Abilities
  • Tackle Attack normal icon.png
  • Spin Attack Attack piercing icon.png
  • Merge with small Lichens
Location Drops
Description

Aside from their larger size, Lichen Colonies also become barbed. This gives them a long-ranged spin attack which shoots spines in random directions. A Lichen Colony can fuse with even more Lichens to become a Giant Lichen Colony, though they seem unable to fuse with other Lichen Colonies.


Giant Lichen Colony

  • Spin Attack Attack piercing icon.pngIcon status stun.png
  • Thorn Roots Attack piercing icon.png
  • Dash
  • Merge with small Lichens
Location Drops
Description

For newly adventuring Knights, it is advisable to avoid allowing a Giant Lichen Colony to form. Along with a "thorn roots" attack, Giant Lichen Colonies can dash around to chase fleeing knights. Fortunately, although Giant Lichen Colonies can absorb other Lichens and grow slightly bigger, it can no longer evolve. This is among the most threatening of all Lichens.

  • Increased elemental resistance while burned
  • Stops flaming when frozen
Location Drops
Description

These slick Lichens have a tendency to leave a mess of oil on the ground. Not only do the Oilers camouflage well against the spilled oil, the oil slicks on the ground can also be set aflame by monsters or players, making the Oilers much more dangerous.

When on fire, Oilers gain a resistance to Elemental attacks.

  • Tier 1: Can not be encountered.
  • Tier 2: Has short spikes around its body, causing it to resemble a Lichen Colony.
  • Tier 3: Has still more spikes around its body, causing it to resemble a Giant Lichen Colony. Can dash around.

Out of all the Lichens, these may be the most dangerous. It has all of the attacks a Giant Lichen Colony has, plus the ability to surround itself in noxious gas, poisoning and weakening players. Fortunately, they are only found in a Tier 3 level known as Concrete Jungle Briar Bone Barrage.

Location Drops
Description

Quicksilvers appear to be just normal, silver Lichens. However, they become much more dangerous when shocked: they become temporarily invulnerable, heal themselves a small amount and move erratically damaging anything that it touches, monsters and players alike. It's also not very shocking that they can electrify themselves without the need for an external power source, so watch out!

Description

This dark monster is Swarm-Infested, so it offers absolutely no Crowns, Heat, Materials, or Vials, and seemingly never stops spawning. Its defenses are enhanced on a Swarm Seed. This lichen is weak to elemental. Piercing attacks seem to be a viable option against them as well - while the damage numbers indicate resistance with grey coloration, the damage this enemy takes is still significant.


Strategy

  • Defeating non-elemental Lichens is very simple, but you must keep in mind that when they merge:
    • The resulting Lichen has full health and is cured of status effects.
    • Ten normal Lichens make a Lichen Colony, and sixteen make a Giant Colony. It is important to notice that any combination of the sort can get you one. For example: merging two quintuple Lichens (Lichens made by merging five normal Lichens) also results in a colony. Merging a sextuple Lichen (a Lichen made by merging six normal Lichens) with a Colony gets you a Giant Colony.
    • Differently-sized Lichens look slightly different in size and have several visible cores. It is important to note which is which. The same applies to Colonies and Giant Colonies, so you can know the number of total Lichens in each.
    • Giant Colonies have unlimited Lichen absorption, but may only do so when damaged, to regain full health.
    • The more cores a Lichen has, the more health it has and damage it deals. This is capped at 21 cores maximum. Lichens that join a colony afterwards will not increase its power nor the amount of loot dropped after its death any further.
      • Some Colonies that were already in Colony form when they spawned will have only one core. This means they will be weaker compared to Colonies formed from ten smaller Lichens. When a single-core Colony merges with another small Lichen, its core amount gets bumped back to proper value.
    • For more skilled players, it may be beneficial to let them form into Giant Colonies before attacking so you will get increased heat.
  • Don't let Red Rovers take notice of you when there are Oilers or Toxoils around, and don't use weapons that inflict fire or they will be set aflame.
  • Oilers slide around for a bit after they stop moving, meaning they can charge up an attack and still hit you as you run away.
  • A frozen Oiler or Toxoil will lose its "aflame" status, and elemental damage will do normal damage to it instead of reduced damage. They can be relit quite easily however from fire traps, shadow fire, Red Rovers and other lit Oilers.
  • If a Quicksilver has been shocked, it can damage or kill other enemies (including other Quicksilvers, which can be useful when there are a large number of Quicksilvers in the vicinity) but will heal itself.
  • Stepping into a Sloombargo's sleep mist can be used to restore a few pips of health, especially right after you kill one. Never do this with enemies around unless you know what are you doing or have teammates to wake you up.
