Metal slime family: Difference between revisions

There are a handful of monsters that, while being members of the slime family and having the word metal in their name, do not meet the strict qualifications of the real mccoy. One such example is the [[Metal slime knight]], which has no noteworthy resistance and lacks a high experience point yield--flavor texts in latter games states this is due to the knight taking the hit intended for the metal slime and allowing their silver steed to slip away unharmed. An interesting case is the metal dragon slime as it is not as impervious as the standard metal slime, but it does give a high number of experience points for its area in a game when defeated.

Additionally, there are a few members of other families that mimic the properties of metal slimes, the most noteworthy being the [[Metal chimaera]] and the [[Hardy hand]] which were added in the remake of the third game.
