The '''Healslime''' (originally '''Healer''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', it is a floating, tentacled [[Slime]] that can heal its allies.


The '''Healslime''' is a variant of the [[Slime]] enemy, but with slightly better stats and the ability to use the [[Heal]] spell.
==Characteristics==
Healslimes are similar to jellyfish, having blue, float-shaped heads with yellow tentacles dangling underneath. Their eyes are often the same yellow color as their tentacles, though there are instances where their eyes are white.


Healslimes are usually hostile but not always, as in the case of [[Healie]], a Healslime who actually temporarily joins the player in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''.
While stronger than normal Slimes, Healslimes are still mediocre combatants and make themselves most threatening when they heal other, more powerful monsters before the player has a chance to subdue them. Because of this, defeating the Healslimes in an enemy group first is often the best course of action if the player cannot defeat the other enemies before they can be healed.
