Slime is known for its onion/rain droplet shape, round eyes, and goofy, toothless smile; the former two traits having become the ones shared amongst nearly all other slimes.
The slime is known for its onion/rain droplet shape, round eyes, and goofy, toothless smile; the former two traits having become the ones shared amongst nearly all their [[Slime family|slippery siblings]].


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]].  
Slimes are typically the weakest enemies in every game, having no special 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 some games, slimes can be domesticated into pets and others have gained the ability to speak to humans in their own tongue. In recent translations, all slimes have a certain verbal tic of replacing certain words and syllables with similar, 'slimier' ones, such as saying ''goo'' instead of ''good'', ''gooman'' instead of ''human'', and ''slime'' instead of ''time'', to give just a few (or goo) examples.

The '''she-slime''' (originally '''Red Slime'''/'''RedSlime''') is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest ]]'' series. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|very first game]], they are basically reddish, ever-so-slightly-stronger slimes.
The '''She-slime''' (originally ''Red Slime/RedSlime'') is the first pallet swap monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest ]]'' series. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|very first game]], they are basically reddish, ever-so-slightly-stronger slimes.


Despite the name of she-slime, their genders are as ambiguous as those of regular slimes. The change from red slime may be on account that their modern depictions; with more shades available to them than what the graphical limitations of the NES allowed, the globs are more of an orange shade than red. According to the games, the she-slimes are a different color than ordinary slimes due to an uncommon genetic mutation; this relative rarity has led them to be referred to as "don't-often-see-slimes".

Dark slimes are capable of using an attack known as the 'Slime Spank', which deals just a bit more than the regular attack of the monster.
