"If you're looking for speed, my guy was born to run. He's unstoppable! Sure, he's run from every battle he's fought, but at least he's undefeated, eh?"
—-- Man with metal slime, Slimopolis, Dragon Quest VI
The Metal Slime (formerly 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 rumored to be composed of the fabled Orichalcum alloy.
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, 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.
Metal monster weapons (such as those found in the Joker games) have a good chance at connecting with a metal slime, and the poison needle, with its 12.5%(1⁄8) chance to kill instantly if it connects, or even Hela's hammer's 37.5%(3⁄8), are particularly effective as human weapons go.
Metal slimes make their first appearance as the greatest source of experience from any monster. The player may start dealing normal damage to metal slimes as they near the level 30 cap. Due to the fact that true spell immunity does not exist in the original NES version of I, Sizz and Sizzle have a higher chance (1/16) to slay the slimes than critical hits (1/64).

The remakes allow for the recruiting of metal slimes, though the chances of one wanting to join the party are abysmally low, combining with their rarity and difficulty in defeating to make them one of the hardest monsters to recruit in the game. Their plethora of resistances and metal slime stats can make them worth the effort, though they are not nearly as versatile as liquid metal slimes.

It is interesting to note that it is possible to put metal slimes to sleep in this title, and that normal damage may start being dealt once a character's attack power gets high enough.

Description | Those lucky enough to meet one of these and defeat it before it dashes off will find it a very rewarding experience. Warning: Ordinary slimes have recently been wrapping themselves in aluminum foil and masquerading as metal slimes. |

Goodith, Goosashi, Gooshido and Tokyo Tom all appear to be metal slimes.
When defeated quick enough in this game, the metal slimes will drop silvery sludge.
