Shell slime

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The shell slime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest III.

It is a green variant of a seaslime with a copper-colored conch shell that appears more commonly on land than at sea. Unlike their blue-hued brethren the shell slimes have grown their namesake instead of occupying discarded shells.
