Metal slimes are infamous | Metal slimes are infamous {{MFamilies}}s 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 {{MFamilies}}s 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. | ||
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.

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]]. | ||

In order to discourage players from leveling too quickly, metal slimes would not appear on the field, only accompanying other {{MFamilies}}s. They are highly impervious to all forms of harm, can cast [[Frizz]] on opponents and naturally, have a high chance of fleeing from battle. | ||
Starting with Version 1.1, an item known as the Metal ticket would cause a metal slime to appear when used as a tool in battle. Version 1.2 also introduced the metal slime coin, which would allow players to encounter metal slimes when used in the Magic Labyrinth. | Starting with Version 1.1, an item known as the Metal ticket would cause a metal slime to appear when used as a tool in battle.

}}*Like in | }}*Like in {{Dragon Quest X}}, Metal slimes, along with other members of the metal slime family in this game, only appears when fighting other {{MFamilies}}s. Additionally, depending on the party's average level scale, the [[Pep|Pep Power]] Electro Light may replace enemies fought in a normal battle with Metal slimes or their [[Vicious monsters|vicious]] versions. | ||
