| The '''metal king slime''' (originally '''King Metal'''; '''MetalKing''' / '''Metal King''' in later translations due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', it is a metallic version of the [[king slime]] that usually gives the greatest amount of experience of any monster in the games it appears in, with very few exceptions. | | The '''metal king slime''' (originally '''King Metal'''; '''MetalKing''' / '''Metal King''' in later translations due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

| As the name would suggest, Metal king slimes are king slimes of a metallic color. Their crowns are different in color to that of the king slimes' as well, bearing shades of purple or blue. | | As the name would suggest, metal king slimes are king slimes of a metallic color.

| Like all other [[Metal Monsters]], metal king slimes have extremely high defense and speed, give an absurd amount of experience points when defeated, and often flee from battle instead of fighting. Their HP is much higher than that of most metal monsters, normally in the range of 20, and they are also fairly competent when it comes to fighting, something that [[Metal slime|Metal slimes]] and [[Liquid metal slime|Liquid metal slimes]] usually aren't. | | Like all other [[metal monsters]], metal king slimes have extremely high defense and speed, give an absurd amount of experience points when defeated, and often flee from battle instead of fighting.

| | Metal king slimes share their first appearance with their variants, king slimes and [[king cureslime]]s. They do not appear until near the end of the game and are, in the original, NES release, the greatest source of experience in the game: they lose this position to [[platinum king jewel]]s in the remakes. |
| | |
| | Because their HP is so much higher than other metal monsters, it is usually recommended that [[Alena]] be used to fight them given her high critical hit ratio, which negates the monstrous defense of these metal globs. |

| Metal king slimes appear as rank S members of the slime family and can be synthesized via quadrulinear synthesis using four liquid metal slimes. Players can also attempt to scout them in Palaish Isle's metal menagerie, Tartarus during the post-game, and certain scouts that might use them, though in all instances the monsters can prove incredibly difficult to impress. | | Metal king slimes appear as rank S members of the slime family and can be synthesized via quadrulinear synthesis using four liquid metal slimes.
