Liquid metal slime

From Dragon Quest Wiki
For the secret class in Dragon Quest VI, see Metal Babble (Class).

The liquid metal slime (originally Metal Babble; later Metabble due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II, it is a metallic bubble slime that acts as a large source of experience points.

Characteristics

In terms of appearance, liquid metal slimes are essentially identical to bubble slimes, but are metallic in color and shine.

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.

Appearances

Main series

Though the game of the liquid metal slime's introduction, it does not appear until nearing the game's end, appearing only in Rhone and a few areas with access to it.

Liquid metal slimes appear within the vicinity of Rimuldar, among several within the dark world of Alefgard dungeons. A popular strategy for vanquishing the slime is to have your wizard and priest cast Puff! and Accelerate on the first turn of the encounter, incinerating them automatically on the next turn.

Liquid metal slimes can be encountered shortly after the player obtains a ship. Though they remain an excellent source of experience points, they also have a habit of appearing alongside troublesome monsters such as hoodlums and hocus chimaeras. Exceptionally lucky and/or vigilant players may obtain a defeated liquid metal slime as an ally, one of the most potent monster partners that can be had in the game.

Description Their defense and speed are pretty impressive, but nowhere near as amazing as the amount of experience they give!

They're constantly striving to see who can last the longest without getting whacked and still succeed in scarpering.

They can be found in The Bowhole, rarely at the cliff at Angel's falls, and in some Grottoes.
