If you’ve been playing Roblox Animal Hospital recently, you’ve probably noticed something strange happening during your shifts. Green slime starts appearing everywhere, the Hazmat Team suddenly arrives, and before you know it, a giant slime creature called Slimebert is roaming around the hospital causing complete chaos.
At first, it looks like a random event, but there’s actually quite a bit going on. The update also introduces a brand-new character named Sam, who can permanently help around the hospital once you recruit him.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Slimebert update, how the event works, and what Sam actually does.
Roblox Animal Hospital Slimebert & Sam Update Guide – Slime Event, Hazmat Team & New Employee Explained
The latest Animal Hospital update introduces a random special shift centred around a slime outbreak.
When the event begins, you’ll notice a message saying that the air feels slimy, followed shortly by the arrival of the Hazmat Team.
From that point onwards, the hospital quickly becomes covered in green slime.
This isn’t just a visual effect—the slime creates extra work throughout the shift while Slimebert causes even more problems.
Hazmat Team Explained
Shortly after the slime event starts, members of the Hazmat Team enter the hospital.
Their main job is simple:
- Clean slime from floors.
- Remove slime from walls.
- Help keep the hospital manageable.
You’ll even see them carrying special equipment designed to clean the slime.
However, don’t expect them to solve every problem.
While they’re excellent at cleaning the mess, they do not stop Slimebert himself.
Who Is Slimebert?
Slimebert is the main creature introduced in this update.
During the event, he’ll eventually arrive at the hospital pretending to check in as a patient.
Moments later, he reveals his true nature and begins wandering around the building.
Instead of behaving like a normal patient, Slimebert:
- Leaves slime everywhere.
- Roams around the hospital.
- Attacks staff and patients.
- Can even swallow players whole.
If he catches you, you’ll be temporarily digested before returning to the game.
How to Stop Slimebert
Although you can’t permanently defeat Slimebert during the shift, you can slow him down.
The best tool available is the:
- Fire Extinguisher
Spraying Slimebert with the Fire Extinguisher causes him to recoil and temporarily stops him from moving.
This gives nearby players enough time to escape before he starts chasing people again.
Keep one nearby whenever the slime event begins.
Can You Kill Slimebert?
No.
Based on the current update, Slimebert cannot be defeated.
The objective isn’t to eliminate him—it’s simply to survive the shift while continuing to treat patients and manage the hospital.
Eventually, once the shift ends, Slimebert leaves on his own.
Should You Clean the Slime?
Absolutely.
Throughout the shift, slime continuously appears across the hospital.
Cleaning it helps keep the hospital organised and prevents the mess from becoming overwhelming.
Even with the Hazmat Team helping, players still need to clean slime themselves to keep everything under control.
Does Letting the Slime Spread Change Anything?
Many players wondered whether allowing the slime to completely take over the hospital would trigger another secret boss or alternate ending.
At the moment, there doesn’t appear to be any evidence that this happens.
The event simply continues until the shift is completed.
Tips for Surviving the Slime Shift
The slime shift can become hectic very quickly, especially on busy servers.
Some useful tips include:
- Always carry a Fire Extinguisher.
- Clean slime whenever you have spare time.
- Stay away from Slimebert whenever possible.
- Continue treating patients instead of chasing Slimebert.
- Let the Hazmat Team handle as much cleaning as they can.
Trying to fight Slimebert usually wastes time since he can’t be defeated.
Is the Slime Event Random?
Yes.
The slime outbreak doesn’t happen every shift.
Instead, it appears to trigger randomly, meaning you won’t know exactly when Slimebert is going to visit the hospital.
Because of this, every shift has the potential to become much more chaotic without warning.
Sam’s First Encounter
After completing the slime event, another surprise appears.
A new character named Sam arrives at the hospital looking for work.
During his dialogue, Sam explains that he’s searching for a new place to work and asks whether he can join the hospital staff.
You’ll be given the opportunity to hire him.
Should You Hire Sam?
Yes.
Hiring Sam is one of the best rewards from this update.
Once recruited, Sam begins helping around the hospital automatically.
What Does Sam Do?
Sam acts like an AI hospital employee.
He’ll move throughout the hospital performing helpful tasks on his own.
During testing, Sam was seen:
- Cleaning slime.
- Checking different rooms.
- Helping deal with Hiders.
- Assisting with hospital maintenance.
Rather than standing around, Sam actively patrols the building and helps reduce some of the workload for players.
Can Sam Remove Slime?
Yes.
One of Sam’s primary jobs is cleaning slime left behind during slime-related events.
While he won’t instantly clean every mess, he noticeably helps reduce the amount of slime covering the hospital.
This makes future slime shifts much easier to manage.
Can Sam Handle Other Anomalies?
It appears so.
Besides cleaning slime, Sam can also interact with Hiders, another anomaly that appears in Animal Hospital.
This makes him useful even outside the Slimebert event.
Although he occasionally checks empty rooms or performs actions that don’t seem necessary, he still provides valuable assistance throughout normal gameplay.
The Slimebert update adds one of the most entertaining random events Animal Hospital has seen so far. Instead of a standard hospital shift, players suddenly have to deal with a giant slime monster, slippery hallways, frightened patients, and an overworked Hazmat Team trying to keep everything under control.
The real highlight, however, is Sam. After surviving the slime outbreak, recruiting him gives you a permanent helper who cleans slime, patrols rooms, and even helps deal with certain anomalies. If you encounter his recruitment event, it’s definitely worth hiring him, as he’ll continue making future shifts much easier to manage.
Overall, this update brings a fun mix of chaos and quality-of-life improvements, making every hospital shift feel a little more unpredictable than before.
