The Healslime (originally Healer) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II, it is a floating, tentacled Slime that can heal its allies.
Characteristics
Healslimes are similar to jellyfish, having blue, float-shaped 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 have the ability to summon a Healslime in battle and it is the most summoned monster in all of the Dragon Quest Series.

A Healslime (then Healer) is the first boss monster that the player encounters, this particular Healslime being Hale, one of the King of GreatTree's favorite monsters. Hale will want to join upon his defeat, an offer the player should take up due to the healing and support spells the Healslime can offer.
