Characteristics
A slime stack is simply an organized stack of three different slimes: a blue one on the bottom, a red one in the middle, and a green one on top.
Given that they are three slimes working together, they are fairly formidable when first confronted and especially exceed the sum of their parts. They attack by separating and launching themselves at enemies.
Appearances

In the 3DS version, slime stacks appear as special enemies in the Test of Slime DLC tablet. It is also possible to acquire a slime stick weapon through DLC.

| Description | You'd think three slimes would be better than one, but there's more bickering than battling with these tetchy towers. Trios of slimes with royal ambitions who banded together to become King Slimes, but were too few to do so. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The player may first encounter slime stacks on Newid Isle, where Alltrades Abbey and Porth Llaffan are, though they will first appear as seemingly normal slimes. However, these particular slimes are stronger than those previously faced and can call on other slimes, forming into a slime stack when three gather. On Pluvi Isle, the slime stacks appear as is. It is also possible for a character to dress up like a slime stack in reverse order (with the blue slime on top and green at the bottom) by wearing a slood and gooey gear together.

Trivia
The slime stack, along with its related kin, are possibly a reference to a game-play mechanic in the Slime MoriMori series where it is possible to stack things on a slime, such as objects and monsters, including other slimes.
