The '''Liquid Metal Slime''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{DQ2}}, it is a metallic [[Bubble slime]] that acts as a large source of experience points. Players are tipped off to Liquid metal slimes being in an area by the presence of [[Hunter mech]]s, which are seemingly programmed to track down the silver sludge.

In terms of appearance, Liquid metal slimes are essentially identical to [[Bubble slime]]s, but are a slick silver in color and shine indicative of the [[Metal slime family|metal slime family]]. This is rumored to the little globs being made out of the precious [[Orichalcum]] metal, but this has never been affirmed.

Liquid metal slimes have the standard qualities of metal monsters: high {{Agility}}, high {{Defence}}, immunity to essentially all forms of magic and skills, very low {{HP}}, very high experience payout, and the unfavorable habit of running away from battle frequently. Although a step up from the [[Metal slime]], the Liquid metal slime is rarely shown to be competent at fighting, its only enhancements being its {{HP}} and the {{Exp}}erience it gives when compared to Metal slimes. Due to being encountered (comparatively) more frequently than Metal king slimes and only having marginally higher {{HP}} but approximately ten times as many {{exp}}erience points than [[Metal slime]]s, the Liquid metal slime is the most popular choice amongst power leveling adventurers.

Liquid metal slimes are commonly found in the [[Royal Crypt]] southwest of [[Endor]] by sea. They can occasionally drop Happy hats or {{Torneko}} can steal one at random. It is best to use the [[Sands of time]] item as they can run away and it may take many tries before {{Torneko}} successfully steals a [[Happy hat]] at random.

Liquid metal slimes can be encountered shortly after the player obtains a ship. Though they remain an excellent source of {{exp}}erience points, they also have a habit of appearing alongside troublesome {{MFamilies}}s such as [[Hoodlum]]s and [[Hocus chimaera]]s. Exceptionally lucky and/or vigilant players may obtain a defeated Liquid metal slime [[Liquid metal slime (Recruit)|as an ally]], one of the most potent {{MFamilies}} partners that can be had in the game.

The Liquid metal slime can be found in the [[Den of the Dwarves]] in the past, the [[The Beacon]] in the past and present, the [[Excavated Cave]], the [[Malign Shrine]], the [[Wilted Heart]] region in Disc 2, the [[Gröndal]] region in Disc 2 and the [[Nottagen]] region in Disc 2. It is also one of the forms that the [[Rotten egg]] can become when hatched.

Liquid metal slimes can first be encountered in [[Trodain]] Castle, though their appearances there are very rare and only indicated by the [[Hunter mech]]s in the area. They also appear in most places accessible only by flight, most commonly at nighttime. In particular, the island behind [[Maella Abbey]] is a frequent haunt and an excellent place for power leveling.
