A Meddle slime is a type of Slime introduced in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, found in both Treepidation and Doubtback.
Characteristics[edit]
The interesting thing about the Meddle slime is that, when one first encounters one in the game, one is inclined to think that they have found a Metal slime, for it is virtually indistinguishable from the genuine article. However, the player, thinking they have a chance at racking up high Exp for killing one, should not get too excited. The Meddle slime, it turns out, is an impostor Metal slime, yielding only normal Exp upon its defeat. The "yellow-bellies" are difficult to recruit, as they tend to flee as quickly as a real Metal slime, and take offence easily when scouted. Nevertheless, it is much easier to scout a Meddle slime than its truly metallic namesake. And, as they are not recognised as the same species, no penalty occurs for scouting one whilst another is already in storage.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2[edit]
Upon being scouted, a Meddle slime will turn into a real Metal slime. It is possible to obtain a Meddle slime through save game modification, but they will have broken stats (in line with other unobtainable monsters such as Malevolynx and the Tentacles).
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional[edit]
Meddle slimes can no longer be scouted.
Notes[edit]
If the player wants to know whether they have got the "real thing" or not, they merely have to look at the creature's name in battle.
