The King slime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, a giant crown-wearing blob created when multiple regular Slimes fuse together.
King Slimes made their first appearance in Derupa! Iruriru! (a 2-chapter manga which would retroactively become the first arc of Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai), before making their game debut in Dragon Quest IV a few months later.
Characteristics[edit]
King slimes appear to be large, engorged slimes, notably due to their chubby cheeks imposing on the edges of their toothless grins. Going along with their kingly status, they wear crowns, usually shown as being gold-rimmed with purple and green striped fabric. As shown in an optional cutscene in VIII, the crown is what maintains the fusion status and the King will disperse into its component Slimes if it is removed.
In terms of strength, King slimes are a massive step up from the average slime in all parameters, especially HP and Attack. They are often shown as being versed in magic, normally having access to Midheal and Zing in most games; occasionally the King slime can cast Snub. While King slimes can appear as is, players will normally first encounter this monster upon running into a group of special slimes that can summon others of their type; when eight of these Slimes (called Slimification) gather, they can pile up and fuse into a single King slime.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai[edit]
In chapter 2 of Derupa! Iruriru!, a King Slime is among the cameos of monsters from the upcoming Dragon Quest IV. When Zurubon of the fake Hero's party captures a group of Slimes in a net, they merge into a King Slime and break free.
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride[edit]
- King slimes infrequently appear in the area around Helmunaptra, via Slimification. They also appear with much more frequency in Dominicus's Dominion, sometimes in groups of three. They are a recruitable monster, and learn many helpful supportive skills such as Zing, Kabuff, and Insulate, though they Level up somewhat slowly. They can also drop a Yggdrasil leaf upon defeat.
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
- A King slime is encountered as a boss in Highendreigh Tower. It is an especially souped-up King slime, but it should cause no problem to the average party.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
- Besides appearing in battles, King slime is a symbol on the 100 coin slot machine in the Baccarat Casino. Getting three of them in a row result in winning 20,000 tokens.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
- King slimes appear just outside of Bloomingdale; they appears to be 8 normal slimes when encountered, but form the King slime if none of them are defeated. King slimes also appear in Slime Hill, but they aren't formed by eight Slimes.
Dragon Quest X[edit]
King slimes appeared from the beginning of the game. They are able to cast Multiheal and can perform Royal Crush in order to damage any characters in the surrounding area. Starting with Version 5.2 of the game, Vicious king slimes can be encountered in the Netherworld, as well. They still possesses the same abilities as a normal king slime, but their Attack has increased considerably and they are able to heal around 900 HP with their Multiheal.
