King cureslime

Characteristics

The king cureslime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest IV, they look identical to king slimes, but have green colored ooze and a red and purple striped crown.

Despite their name, they have little in common with normal cureslimes as far as appearances go. They have access to the most potent healing magic available, using spells like Fullheal and even Omniheal to heal their allies in battle, making them a nuisance to fight against.
