First appearance | Dragon Quest |
Old localization | Red slime (Dragon Quest NES and GBC, III NES, IV NES, and VII PS1) |
The She-slime is the first pallet swap monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the very first game, they are orange, ever-so-slightly-stronger slimes.
Characteristics
Despite the name, the orange slimes' sexes are as ambiguous as those of regular globs and the nomenclature is meant to evoke real life species of animals such as ladybugs.
The change from the older red slime localisation name is due to the advancement of modern hardware with more colour shades available than what the graphical limitations of the NES allowed, with the globs being more of an orange shade than red. According to some games, the She-slimes are a different color than ordinary slimes due to an uncommon genetic mutation; this relative rarity has led them to be referred to as "don't-often-see-slimes". In some games, such as VI and the Joker series, it is stated that She-slimes gained their red-orange colouration from their carnivorous diet. Their description in X and XI states that their bodies are slightly warmer to the touch than ordinary slimes.
Starting with Dragon Quest: Monster Parade, male She-slimes gained the ability to undergo slimification and form a King she-slime when eight gather together just like their blue and metallic cousins, with the ladies learning to congeal into Slime princesses.

A She-slime appears as one of the costumes for Slime in this game.
Trivia
- The Beth in the She-slime's Japanese name Slime Beth (スライムべス, Suraimu besu) uses the Hebrew letter Beth, the second in their alphabet. It is considered a cognate of the Greek letter beta (βῆτα), which is also the second letter of that alphabet. In the context of Dragon Quest, it is used to declare this monster "Slime B", the second version of the more common blue Slimes.
