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.
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 away at the first chance, often without a scratch due to a very high agility 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.

Anti-metal weapons such as the [[Metal slime spear]] will always deal damage to a metal slime, and the [[Poison needle]] has a 12.5%({{fraction|1|8}}) chance to kill instantly if it connects, as well as the [[Hela's hammer]]'s 37.5%({{fraction|3|8}}) are popular among players who enjoy gambling on mashing the globs in one shot.

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 fire breath granted by the dragon form after casting [[Puff!]] is capable of instantly defeating Metal slimes. Because the transformation drastically cuts the caster's agility, it is strongly advised to follow up with [[Acceleratle]].

The remakes allow for the [[Metal slime (Recruit)|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 slime (Recruit)|liquid metal slimes]].

These Metal slimes (differentiated as Metal slime S) will summon more of themselves until there are 8 of them, then they try to form a Metal king slime.

Metal slimes may first appear on Celeste Isle, where the [[hunter mech]]s hint to their residence on the island. They can also show up on Fert Isle. However, "yellow-bellies" will not appear on the overworld in any of these instances. The Metal menagerie on Palaish Isle is the only place where Metal slimes can be seen before engaging in a battle, though this area cannot be accessed until after the player solidifies his or her position in the finals of the tournament.

Given their resilience, Metal slimes are one of the most difficult monsters to scout, though not nearly as much as the stronger metal monsters the player can run into. In the early parts of the game, a critical hit during the scouting process is one of the most reliable ways to scout one, though a great deal of luck is still needed.
