If you ever tried playing Ragnarok before, then you probably remember the cute jelly-like creatures known as Poring. It’s a common type of monster in the game that appears as a jelly-type harmless creature which tends to swallow everything it’s see. It’s cute and it bounces. It was so popular during those days that the franchise even created stuffed toy and plushies of porings that added to the company’s source of revenue. They are undeniably adorable and irresistible–which is very much the same reason why I was urged to download the game Slime Rancher in my PC gaming console.
