The healslime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II, it is a floating, tentacled Slime that can cast Heal on its allies.
Characteristics[edit]
Healslimes are similar to jellyfish, having blue, oblong heads with yellow tentacles dangling underneath. Their eyes are often the same yellow color as their tentacles, though there are instances where their eyes are white.
While stronger than normal slimes, healslimes are still mediocre combatants and make themselves most threatening when they heal other, more powerful monsters before the player has a chance to subdue them. Because of this, defeating the healslimes in an enemy group first is often the best course of action if the player cannot defeat the other enemies before they can be healed. Many enemies such as the restless armour have the ability to summon a healslime in battle and it is the most often summoned monster in all of the Dragon Quest series.
Appearances[edit]

Healslimes prove to be the first instance in the series where monsters can actually help the player in combat: Ragnar McRyan is assisted by a Healslime named Healie during his quest to save a group of missing children.

A healslime (then known as healer) is the first boss monster that the player encounters at the end of the Gate of Beginnings, this particular Healslime is known as Hale, one of the King of GreatTree's favorite monsters.
