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.

Anti-metal weapons such as the [[ | 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. Certain games program the phials of [[holy water]] to act as non-elemental equivalents of the [[Frizz]] spell when tossed at monsters in battle, dealing 1 point of damage when used on metal slimes. | ||

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 Hit]]s (1/64). | ||

Given their resilience, metal slimes are one of the most difficult {{MFamilies}}s to scout, though not nearly as much as the stronger metal {{MFamilies}}s 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. | Given their resilience, metal slimes are one of the most difficult {{MFamilies}}s to scout, though not nearly as much as the stronger metal {{MFamilies}}s the player can run into.
