The '''Slime''' is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in the original {{Dragon Quest}}, Slimes have since become the series' mascot due to their popularity and iconic qualities to the point that they even have their own {{MFamilies}} [[Slime family|family]]. The basic Slime has been in every {{Main Series}} game to date, becoming the effective ambassador of the franchise.

Slimes are typically the weakest enemies in every game, having no special abilities and being easily disposed of, and likely the first monster the player ever [[encounter]]s in a battle. However, starting with {{Dragon Quest IV}}, there will often be [[Slime (amalgoomated)|stronger slimes]] that can call on others of their kind; they may form a [[King slime]] when eight gather and starting in {{Dragon Quest IX}} three Slimes may join to form the [[Slime stack]].

A slime is the first monster the player has on their team, that particular slime having once been the pet of the previous king of [[GreatTree]].

The Slime reprises its role as the first monster owned by the player, this one being Slash, a Slime that traveled with [[Cobi]] and [[Tara | Tara's]] family to [[GreatLog]].

As was the case with the previous two titles, the Slime is once again the starting monster. Is is a 1-star member of the [[Slime family]] with a weight of 1. Its in-game description reads "It's the most famous monster who happens to have many allies."

In a break from tradition, the Slime is ''not'' the first monster given to the player, who is instead offered a choice of either a [[platypunk]], [[mischievous mole]], or [[dracky]]. The slime does appear on the first island inhabited by wild monsters that the player visits, [[Infant Isle]], along with several uncharted islands, and is likely the first wild monster [[encounter]]ed in the game.

Slimes are the first monsters [[encounter]]ed in the wild outside the [[Albatross]]. Higher level Slimes can be synthesized into Slime X, which can in turn be used to synthesize Slime XY.

Much like previous games in the Joker series, the Slime is one of the first (if not the first) monsters the player fights, although their first monster given is always a [[Jailcat]]. Slimes are Rank F monsters that give very small amounts of experience and gold. They have a small chance to drop a [[Slimedrop]] as a treasure item. Its BREAK form is found later in the game, in the Core. It can be purchased from the Wi-Fi plaza for one bronze coin.

Slime appears as a F-rank monster of the [[Slime family]]. It can be recruited from multiple levels, starting from Chapter 2, Episode 1: Get moving! As a reference to both [[Slime (Recruit)|Gootrude]] and [[Goober]], Slime is able to learn [[Scorch]] through Talent Blossoming. The slime can participate in the Battle Roads of the [[Slime knight]], [[Bubble slime]], [[King bubble slime]], [[Low djinks]], [[Heligator]], and [[Maam]], as well as the ''Dragon Quest I'' event and Blossom Slime Battle Roads.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===

The slime appears as a spirit, a cameo figure in one of the {{Hero Smash}}'s victory screens, bounces around the {{Hero Smash}} in one of his taunts, and is a DLC hat for the Mii Fighters.

==Notable slimes==

*Splatrick - is a non-violent Slime who can be recruited in ''Dragon Quest Builders''.

*[[Majellan]] - A Slime who assists the player in [[Dragon Quest Tact]].

*The regular Slimes appear in the ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' episode "Trojan Dragon".  In addition to their altered designs, their means of attack is spitting out acidic slime.  They're defeated by the weapon shots of Captain N, Kid Icarus/Pit & Mega Man and drop some 2 [[gold]] coins each.

*Issue 277 of ''Nintendo Power'' featured a Slime in the Star Power section, where the "gooey blue mascot" had its career as one of many "hapless punching bags" charted, as well as its physiology analyzed. The section also showcased a handful of other types of Slimes, such as the [[Metal slime]] and [[Slime knight]].

*Despite often being the emblem used to represent the series, they are not used as the series symbol in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

*There is a minigame called [[Slippin' Slime]] that appears in the remakes for {{DQ6}}, which functions similarly to [[wikipedia:curling|curling]].

*[[Emperor Slime]]
