The Slime stack is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest IX, it is, as indicated by its name, a stack of three different Slimes.

Characteristics[edit]

A Slime stack is simply an organized stack of three different Slimes: a blue one on the bottom, a red one in the middle, and a green one on top. According to their monster info in IX, a Slime stack is the result of a failed attempt at forming a King slime, as there were not enough Slimes to do so.

Given that they are three slimes working together, they are fairly formidable when first confronted and especially exceed the sum of their parts. They attack either by swinging themselves or by separating and launching themselves at enemies.

  • It is unknown if the Green slime in the slime stack is intended to be a Lime slime. In some games, such as X, the Green slime is the very same kind as the one ridden by a Slime knight.
