They also do not sport this accessory in any of their {{Famicom}} artwork, presumably because the accessory itself didn't exist yet at that time.
*Slime earrings were available as a cosmetic accessory for a limited time in Square Enix's MMORPG ''[[Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy XIV]]'' starting in 2013 during that year's Tokyo Game Show event.
