The '''slime''' is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced [[Dragon Quest|in the very first game]], slimes have since become the series' mascot due to their popularity and iconic qualities. The basic slime has been in every ''Dragon Quest'' to date.

==Characteristics==
The basic slime is known for its onion/droplet shape, round eyes, and goofy, toothless smile, the former two traits having become the ones shared amongst nearly all other slimes.

They are typically the weakest enemies in every game, having no abilities and being easily disposed of, and likely the first monster the player ever encounters in a battle. However, starting with ''Dragon Quest IV'', there will occasionally be stronger slimes that can call on others of their kind; they may form a [[king slime]] when eight gather and starting in ''Dragon Quest IX'' three slimes may join to form the [[slime stack]].

In some games, slimes can be domesticated into pets and others have gained the ability to speak to humans in their own tongue. In recent translations, all slimes have a certain verbal tic of replacing certain words and syllables with similar, 'slimier' ones, such as saying ''goo'' instead of ''good'', ''gooman'' instead of ''human'', and ''slime'' instead of ''time'', to give just a few (or goo) examples.

There are three type of slimes, but all share the same bestiary entry and item drops. The ones near [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest IX)|Alltrades Abbey]] will call in reinforcements and attempt to form a [[Slime stack]]; likewise those near [[Bloomingdale]] will attempt to form a [[King slime]].

A slime is the first monster the player has on their team, that particular slime having once been the pet of the previous king of GreatTree.

The slime reprises its role as the first monster owned by the player, this one being Slash, a slime that traveled with Cobi and Tara's family to GreatLog.

|Caravan Heart|
As was the case with the previous two titles, the slime is once again the starting monster.
|Joker|
In a break from tradition, the slime is ''not'' the first monster given to the player, who is instead offered a choice of either a [[platypunk]], [[mischievous mole]], or [[dracky]]. The slime does appear on the first island inhabited by wild monsters that the player visits, Infant Isle, along with several uncharted islands, and is likely the first wild monster encountered in the game.
|Joker 2|
Slimes are the first monster encountered in the game aside from the monsters that the player has to choose from at the start of the game.
Slimes, when synthesised over level twenty, create a '''Slime X'''. Two level fifty Slime X's make a '''Slime XY'''.

==Notable Slimes==
*[[Rocket]] - the heroic slime the player uses in Rocket Slime.
*[[Slival]] - arch-rival of Rocket and anti-hero in the storyline of Rocket Slime, joining you only at the final battle against [[Flucifer]].
*[[Gomechan|Gome-chan]] - Friend of Dai in the Dragon Quest manga, ''Dragon Quest: [[Dai no Daibouken]]''.
*[[Rookie|Goober]] - originally known as Rookie in the Super Famicom version, he is a slime companion joining you after winning the [[Slimopolis]] in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''.

==Related Enemies==

*[[She-slime]]

==See Also==
*[[Slime (Class)]]

==Trivia==
*Unlike his contemporaries, longtime ''Nintendo Power'' staff writer (and current Nintendo of America localization manager) Alan Averill never had a photo of him printed in the magazine; instead, he was represented by a plush Slime doll.
*The internet MMORPG ''Kingdom of Loathing'' has a monster called Irritating Series of Random Encounters which is a group of 8 slimes. It is a reference to the random encounters of most RPG games.
*In an interview, series creator [[Yūji Horii]] revealed that his inspiration for this enemy was some "slime-looking enemy" (possibly the creeping crud from the ''Wizardry series'').[http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/10/yuji-horii-explains-the-dragon-quest-slimes-origin]
*Issue 277 of ''Nintendo Power'' featured a Slime in the Star Power section, where the "gooey blue mascot" had its career as one of many "hapless punching bags" charted, as well as its physiology analyzed. The section also showcased a handful of other types of Slimes, such as the [[Metal Slime]] and [[Slime Knight]].
