The '''Metal | The '''Metal slime''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|original game]], it is the forefather of the [[Metal slime family]] and set the standard for every member therein. | ||

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 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, they usually run away at the first chance, often without a scratch due to a very high agility 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. | ||
Anti-metal weapons such as the [[Metal slime spear]] will always deal damage to a metal slime, and the [[Poison needle]] has a 12.5%({{fraction|1|8}}) chance to kill instantly if it connects, as well as the [[Hela's hammer]]'s 37.5%({{fraction|3|8}}) are popular among players who enjoy gambling on mashing the globs in one shot. | Anti-metal weapons such as the [[Metal slime spear]] will always deal damage to a metal slime, and the [[Poison needle]] has a 12.5%({{fraction|1|8}}) chance to kill instantly if it connects, as well as the [[Hela's hammer]]'s 37.5%({{fraction|3|8}}) are popular among players who enjoy gambling on mashing the globs in one shot. | ||
