Liquid metal slimes have the standard qualities of [[metal monsters]]: high speed, high defense, immunity to essentially all forms of magic and skill, very low HP, very high experience payout, and the unfavorable habit of running away from battle frequently. Although a step up from the metal slime, the liquid metal slime is rarely shown to be competent at fighting, its only enhancements being its HP and the experience it gives when compared to metal slimes.

Liquid metal slimes appear as rank C members of the slime family and can be fought on Palaish Isle within Madame Rummy's Metal Menagerie. They can also be fought inside Tartarus, the final dungeon, before and after beating the game, though the player won't be able to see them on the overworld until after the game has been completed. Synthesizing two metal slimes together will result in a liquid metal slime.

The liquid metal slime is a Rank C monster in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2. One can synthesized by mixing a meddle slime and a metal slime. Locations: Metal menagerie, Bemusoleum, Necropolis.
