Strange bug. Consumed my truffle worm, duke fishron wasn't summoned, instead had this message in the chat. Haven't seen this anywhere else. Duke was summoned fine on attempt two. In multiplayer Journey mode on pc, as the other chat messages probably imply.

So that’s like the split up mother slime right? Were you even near the cavern layer? Very odd. Or a friend trolling if this is multiplayer.
you hit the mob cap and the last spawned thing was baby slime instead of fishron, the game bugs and announces the mob instead i think?
I believe the way the “[X] has awoken!” or “[X] has arrived” messages work is they grab whatever the latest spawned entity is and put that into the chat. Usually this is fine because that latest spawned entity is the boss or NPC it’s supposed to be, but if that fails to spawn for whatever reason (mob cap probably), it’ll just show up as a random mob. I think that’s where you get the “Black Slime has arrived!” from that one Gromek999 video, for example.
So in this case, the game THOUGHT it summoned Duke Fishron properly, hence it eating your truffle worm, but it failed to spawn for whatever reason and it printed the last spawned mob in chat, which in this case was a Baby Slime.
