==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Unlike their squidgier cousins, they are only ever encountered directly. They are tougher than the basic [[Metal slime]] and (matching their appearance) worth three times as much experience.

Metal medleys are known for their ability to cast [[Kerfrizz]], setting an opponent ablaze with a burst of fireballs.


Of curious note, Metal medleys are particularly targeted as prey by the [[Hunter mech]]s. If one of these metal-hunting mechanical marauders is nearby, surely its mark can't be far off...

}}*Defeating three metal medleys with the [[Pressure Pointer]] skill is the objective of [[Template:DQIXQuest/65|Quest #65]]: Operation Mercury. They're also the first metal monsters that it's ''reasonable'' to use for level-grinding; even without the Spear quest in your log, their spawn rate seems to be quite a lot higher than that the basic [[Metal slime]]s in the [[Quarantomb]].


The 30-point quest for the Spear skill family requires you to kill some Metal medleys in [[The Bad Cave]] with the [[Pressure Pointer]] ability. They're also the first metal {{MFamilies}} that it's ''reasonable'' to use for level-grinding; even without the Spear quest in your log, their spawn rate seems to be quite a lot higher than that the basic [[Metal slime]]s in the [[Quarantomb]].
==={{DQ10}}===
Metal medleys appeared from the beginning of the game, dropping 3,618 experience when defeated (triple that of a normal metal slime). Once again, they are able to cast [[Kerfrizz]] and have a high chance of fleeing. In order to discourage players from leveling too quickly, metal medleys only accompany other monsters rather than appearing on the field.


==Etymology==
Starting with Version 1.2 of the game, metal medleys can occasionally be encountered on the hidden floors of Magic Labyrinths. Version 2.3 introduced the metal labyrinth invitation ticket, which allows players to visit a special labyrinth populated only by metal slimes. At least three metal medleys can be encountered there, giving players a reliable way to encounter them. In Version 3.0, an item known as the Metal medley ticket would cause a metal medley to appear when used as a tool in battle.
A ''medley'' is a musical performance where excerpts of several different pieces are strung together as a single piece without breaks, and the word forms a solid alliteration with "metal".
 
==={{DQRivals}}===
Metal medley appeared in the 4th card pack, "Tales of Powerful Monsters" as a normal card exclusive for [[Merchant]] leaders.
