Metal slimes are infamous monsters in the series and for a good reason: they have one of the highest {{Exp}}erience point payouts of any enemy in the games, exceeded only by far stronger monsters and other metal slimes; 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 their high {{Agility}} and {{Defence}}. 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. | Metal slimes are infamous monsters in the series and for a good reason: they have one of the highest {{Exp}}erience point payouts of any enemy in the games, exceeded only by far stronger monsters and other metal slimes; even some bosses pay out less than a single Metal slime does.

The remakes allow for the [[Metal slime (Recruit)|recruiting of Metal slimes]], though the chances of one wanting to join the {{Party 5}} are abysmally low, combining with their rarity and difficulty in defeating to make them one of most difficult monsters to recruit in the game.

Metal slimes appear, as of yet, exclusively as enemies on stages such as EXP Quest: Beginner and Intermediate, as well as certain stages where they have a random chance to appear and can be defeated for high amounts of experience. They can cast [[Frizz]] or will waste their turns doing nothing and eventually flee after enough turns have passed if they aren't defeated first. | |||
