The Metal Slime (sometimes Metaly due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the original game, it is a Slime with a metallic body

Characteristics

As far as appearances go, the Metal Slime is nearly identical to a normal Slime, with its only notable differences being its gray coloring and metallic luster.

Metal Slimes are infamous monsters in the series, and for a good reason: they have one of the highest experience point payouts of any enemy in the games, exceeded only by far stronger monsters and other metal monsters; even some bosses pay out less than a single Metal Slime does. This comes at a catch, however: Metal Slimes rarely appear, and when they do appear they usually run in an instant, often without a scratch due to a very high speed stat. Even if the player gets lucky and a Metal Slime or two decide to stick around for a turn, nearly all normal attacks will either miss or do a measly 1 point of damage, though their low HP means every hit counts. Nearly all forms of spell and skill are completely ineffective against Metal Slimes. There are very few exceptions to this.
