Glurch the Abominous Mass is an early-game boss found within the Undergrounds. They are intended to be the first boss players defeat.
Defeating Glurch drops the Glurch Eye, an item required for progression.
Summoning[]
Glurch can be found approximately 65 tiles from The Core in an area covered with slime. A loud thumping sound can be heard and the screen will begin to shake when Glurch is nearby.
Once defeated Glurch can be re-summoned by placing a Giant Slime Summoning Idol on their rune, located below their original spawn point.
Behavior[]
At full health, Glurch will only begin attacking players within a 6 tile radius of them. Once damaged, this radius expands to 20 tiles.
Glurch attacks by quickly leaping towards the closest player, dealing damage where they land and leaving behind a patch of Ground Slime.
Additionally, Glurch instantly breaks any non-indestructible objects in their path, including walls. Any pits/liquids will be filled in with Dirt Block ground.
If the player moves out of Glurch's range during combat, or Glurch travels more than 25 tiles from their rune, they will return to their rune to regenerate health (10% of their maximum every 5 seconds).
Once Glurch reaches 30% health they will become enraged and begin moving much faster.

Tips[]
- Bombs and range weapons (such as the Slingshot) are extremely effective against Glurch.
- When using Bombs, the player should place the Bomb and run out of Glurch's range. This way, they bounce on the Bomb and trigger it. This method can be repeated and will require 10-20 Bombs on average.
- A hoe or shovel can be incredibly helpful to dig up the Ground Slime to avoid the movement speed debuff.
- Copper armor and Rain armor are both decent options for armor.
- Rain armor has the added bonus of reducing the movement speed impact of Ground Slime by 50%.
- The Swift Feather is useful for dodging Glurch's attacks.
- Bomb Peppers increase the player's movement speed when cooked. A useful combination is a Bomb Pepper plus a Heart Berry, which will provide healing, movement speed and a temporary max health increase.
