The Slime is a recurring enemy in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the very first game, Slimes have since become the series' mascot due to their popularity and iconic qualities.

Characteristics

The basic Slime is known for its onion/droplet shape, round eyes, and goofy, toothless smile, the former two traits having become the ones shared amongst nearly all other Slimes.

They are typically the weakest enemies in every game, having no abilities and being easily disposed of, and likely the first monster the player ever encounters in a battle. However, starting with Dragon Quest IV, there will occasionally be stronger Slimes that can call on others of their kind; they may form a King Slime when eight gather and starting in Dragon Quest IX three slimes may join to form the Slime Stack. In the DS remake of Dragon Quest IV, these Slimes appear under slimification in 'The Big Book of Beasts'.

The basic Slime gives 1 Experience Point and 1 Gold Coin.

Trivia

• The internet MMORPG Kingdom of Loathing has a monster called Irritating Series of Random Encounters which is a group of 8 slimes. It is a reference to the random encounters of most RPG games.
• In an interview, series creator Yūji Horii revealed that his inspiration for this enemy was some "slime-looking enemy" (possibly the creeping crud^[1]) from the Wizardry series.^[2]
