The Hot Spring Slimes are a group of humanoid Slimes currently working as workers at the Sno Ball Hot Spring Resort.
They were created when the Black Slime Nega-Suu was used by the Black Lily Laboratory as a living water purifier for the resort´s water tank. By absorbing and filtering the DNA of other liminal species, Nega-Suu created new humanoid slimes of various shapes and sizes. Although these slimes can technically be considered as Nega-Suu's children, they behave more like Suu and are not vicious (some of them have a dark color, but none of them seem to be a Black Slime).
After Yukio and Kimihito learned of the existence of the Hot Spring Slimes, Yukio gave them cleaning jobs at the Arctic Inn. This was also done as a precautionary measure, because since the Hot Spring Slimes had only recently been created, they had not yet developed their own personalities or even a trace of common sense, so it would have been too early to let them interact with human society. Since some of the Hot Spring Slimes had already been matched with some human guests in the meantime, Yukio "persuaded" Mr President (since the creation of the Hot Spring Slimes had been caused by him, albeit unintentionally and indirectly) to find these Slimes and bring them back to the Arctic Inn so that they could gain enough experience to become familiar with human society through training like the other Slimes.[1]

Trivia[]
- As revealed in a omake of Volume 16, during the training of the Slimes in the resort, there was no possibility of a Slime being lost. Due to the cold temperatures around the resort, the Slimes froze immediately, preventing any escape. Yukio then thawed the frozen Slimes with hot water.
- Many of the hot spring slimes have slime structures that resemble characteristics of other Liminals, such as leaf-like "hair" (like Dryads), cat-like "ears" (like Nekomimis or Werecats) or "horns" (like Minotaurs). This is probably because Nega-Suu created the Hot Spring Slimes by absorbing the onsen water with the DNA of the Liminals bathing in it, so that this DNA also flowed into the body structures of the Hot Spring Slimes.
