Slime
- This article is about the monster. For the family, see Slime (Family)
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 latter 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.

Trivia
