She-slime
The she-slime (originally Red Slime) is a recurring enemy in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the very first game, they are basically reddish slimes.
Characteristics
There are not too many differences between the she-slime and its run-of-the-mill counterpart: besides color, she-slimes are usually ever so slightly stronger than slimes.
Despite the name she-slime, their genders are as ambiguous as those of regular slimes. The change from red slime may be on account that their modern interpretations, with more shades available to them then what the graphical limitations of the NES allowed, are more of an orange color than red.
Appearances

Description | Slimes of a different color, apparently due to a sudden mutation. Although commonly referred to as 'she-slimes', their true gender remains unknown. |
While significantly stronger than normal slimes, she-slimes are still rather weak. They can be encountered just outside Peregrin Quay and are noticeably weaker compared to previous monsters encountered, likely to help players cope with Jessica who is low-leveled at this point of the game.

Description | Slimologists have recently discovered that carnivorous slimes turn a reddish shade. |
She-slimes cannot be found on any of the main islands in Green Bays, but they can occasionally be encountered on any uncharted islands players may happen across while traveling between the main locations. A she-slime can often be synthesized using a healslime and a monster of equal or lower rank of the she-slime desired.
