The gem slime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.
Introduced in Dragon Quest Monsters, it is a Slime in the shape of a brilliant, golden jewel.
Characteristics[edit]
A gem slime is, as suggested by its name, shaped like a brilliant-cut diamond, a trait most apparent when viewed from the side since its back tapers to a point away from its front. It also has a tiara-like crown that bends back and appears to be attached to the point of its jewel-shaped body. Gem slimes are typically the best sources of gold in the games they appear in, netting an adventurer several thousand for defeating one.
The gem slime's distinct design was lent to a pair of pallet swaps when it was added to the main series in VII, being the emperor slime and platinum king jewel.

Gem slimes appear as one of the grotto-specific monsters found in the game, specifically appearing in the tomb-like grottoes. They have metal monster-like stats and are capable of casting Magic Burst, though defeating even one will net the player more than 10,000 gold coins. Adventurers seeking riches can farm Gem slimes with Thunder Thrust and Hatchet Man to quickly earn enough money for even the most expensive purchases, such as Chronocrystals, which cost a staggering 50,000 gold coins each. However, moneymakers should still remain wary of the powerful Magic Burst, as it can take out an unprepared party, especially when multiple Gem slimes are present in battle.
