The Metal slime knight is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest V, it is a stronger variant of a Slime knight.
Characteristics[edit]
Contrary to most players' expectations, the Metal slime knight does not yield the incredible experience points befitting namesake, as either the Metal slimes that let themselves get captured by the Slime knights are the least experienced slimes, or the slime knights shield their steeds from the finishing blow. Indeed, they do not even bear vulnerability to anti-metal weapons and skills, nor do they possess astonishing speed, a high chance of dodging attacks and immunity to magic. Instead, rumours abound that the steed is merely painted chrome...
These slime knights often have the ability to cast healing magic on themselves and fellow monsters like their green cousins. In some games, they are even able to perform some skillful feats or swordplay and acrobatic somersaults off the backs of their metallic steeds.
In the PlayStation 2 remake of V and the Nintendo 3DS version of VII, the metal slime knight was further distinguished from an ordinary one by wielding a scimitar, a round shield emblazoned with the design of a King slime, wearing purple gloves and boots, and a red plume on their helmets.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker[edit]
Metal slime knights can be found on Infern Isle. It is wise to scout them when first possible, as in-game events will later alter the island and prevent Metal slime knights from appearing.
