Cave slime are poisonous Slayer monsters found in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves and Dorgesh-Kaan South Dungeon. They require level 17 slayer to kill. They are notable for dropping considerable amounts of Swamp tar, which can be sold for 145 coins each. They can also drop level 1 clue scrolls. Cave slimes are good creatures for making money if used correctly.

[edit] Strengths and Weaknesses
Cave slimes have a max hit of 5. Their poison has a maximum damage of 3, and they poison regardless of whether they do damage or not. It is strongly recommended that players proctect themselves from poison, by taking Anti-poison potions or using the thermal bath Spa at Oo'glog before fighting these monsters. Super antipoison potions are regarded as quite useful, as each dose gives immunity to poison for 6 minutes.
Although these monsters have good drops, some players do not prefer to train on them due to large number of antipoison potions required. However, players who can kill the slimes quickly can usually make a profit from the swamp tar drops, even after paying for the super antipoison potions.
Players using long-range combat (magic, ranged, or long melee weapons like Halberds) do not need any poison protection as long as they use Safe spots. There is a safe spot near the south-west fishing spot in Lumbridge swamp cave (see picture).
Players should not go into the Lumbridge Swamps dungeon with an open light (this includes candles, torches, etc.), as the flame will eventually cause the gases in the cave to explode. This can cause massive damage to the player and possibly death. Also, the light source will be extinguished, and stinging insects will then constantly attack the player until the player relights a light source, escapes the cave, or dies. An enclosed light source like a Bullseye lantern or a flameless light source like a Seers' headband will not ignite the gases.
