Protection

Tarr are enemies that you will encounter when playing Slime Rancher on Casual. Thankfully, Tarr can be killed easily.

Here are some ways to kill Tarr:

Suck them up with your vacuum (a tool that collects items and slimes) and launch them into the Slime Seas (a large body of water).
Buy the water vacuum upgrade, suck up some water, and blast the Tarr twice to kill them.
Build a water turret from the lab.

You can tell if a Tarr is nearby because the happy music changes to scary and low music. This music stops once the Tarr are gone.

Warning: Be careful because the Tarr can turn other slimes into more Tarr.

Tips

Listen for the music change to know when Tarr are nearby.
Use the water vacuum upgrade for an effective way to deal with Tarr.
Consider building a water turret for passive Tarr defense.
