The She-slime is the first pallet swap monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the very first game, they are basically reddish, ever-so-slightly-stronger s Slimes.

Despite the name, the scarlet slimes' sexes are as ambiguous as those of regular slimes. The change from red slime may be on account that their modern depictions; with more shades available to them than what the graphical limitations of the NES allowed, the globs are more of an orange shade than red. According to some games, the she-slimes are a different color than ordinary slimes due to an uncommon genetic mutation; this relative rarity has led them to be referred to as "don't-often-see-slimes".

Besu is a corruption of the Hebrew letter Beth, the second in their alphabet. In the context of Dragon Quest, it's used to declare this monster "Slime B", the second version of the more common blue slimes.
