"A Slime draws near! Command?"

The Slime is a recurring monster in the 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 monster family. The basic Slime has been in every Dragon Quest game to date, becoming the effective ambassador of the franchise.

Characteristics

The Slime is known for its onion or rain droplet shape, round eyes, and goofy, toothless smile; the latter two traits having become the ones shared amongst nearly all their slippery siblings.

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 encounters in a battle. However, starting with Dragon Quest IV, there will often be 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.

In some games, Slimes have been domesticated into pets and others have gained the ability to speak the human language. In recent translations, all slimes have a certain verbal tic of replacing certain words and syllables with similar, 'slimier' ones, such as saying goo instead of good, gooman instead of human, and Slime instead of time, to give just a few (or goo) examples.

Monster Meadow quotes

"Sometimes, when Mr. Monster is asleep, I crawl in his mouth and lay eggs.
Damn. People are always kicking my ass. What's that? What do you mean, which end is my ass?
Gaahhh! Don't hit me! Oh, sorry. Force of habit."

—(Slime) (PlayStation 1)

"I love Monty! He's so goo to me! And so oozy-going! Thank you so much for telling me about him, (player's name)!
Gloopity gloop!
I'm a goo little slime! I never cause anyone any bother!"

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's family to GreatLog.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart

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."

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

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 encountered in the game.

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.
