The '''liquid metal slime''' (originally '''metal babble'''; later '''metabble''' due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', it is a metallic [[bubble slime]] that acts as a large source of experience points.

==Characteristics==
In terms of appearance, liquid metal slimes are essentially identical to bubble slimes, but are metallic in color and shine.

Liquid metal slimes have the standard qualities of [[metal monsters]]: high speed, high defense, immunity to essentially all forms of magic and skill, very low HP, very high experience payout, and the unfavorable habit of running away from battle frequently. Although a step up from the metal slime, the liquid metal slime is rarely shown to be competent at fighting, its only enhancements being its HP and the experience it gives when compared to metal slimes.

Liquid metal slimes appear within the vicinity of [[Rimuldar]], among several with in the dark world of Alefgard dungeons.

Liquid metal slimes can be encountered shortly after the player obtains a ship. Though they remain an excellent source of experience points, they also have a habit of appearing alongside troublesome monsters such as [[hoodlum]]s and [[hocus chimaera]]s. Exceptionally lucky and/or vigilant players may obtain a defeated liquid metal slime as an ally, one of the most potent monster partners that can be had in the game.

Liquid Metal Slimes appear as rank C members of the Slime family and can be fought on Palaish Isle within Madame Rummy's Metal Menagerie. They can also be fought inside Tartarus, the final dungeon, before and after beating the game, though the player won't be able to see them on the overworld until after the game has been completed. Synthesizing two Metal Slimes together will result in a Liquid Metal Slime.

'The Big Book of Beasts'

90.15.49.7: /* Appearances */

''''The Big Book of Beasts'''' (given in quotes with 'the' being part of the name, originally '''Monster Book''') is a recurring item in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. It is an optional item that keeps track of nearly all the monsters players can encounter in the game the book appears in. It first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''.

==Uses==
Obtaining the book is purely optional and not a requirement to beat the game. It is essentially a convenience for the player, showing all monsters (with some exceptions between games) the player has fought while listing other statistics like the amount of EXP awarded and how many of that particular monster the player has defeated and can even show the monsters' battle animations. Defeating a large number of a single kind of monster will usually result in a minor reward for that monsters page, such as showing more of its animations and revealing what items it drops if the player has yet to obtain any from the monster in question.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Absent from the original game; handed to the main character by his/her adopted father in the remakes.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
Absent from the original, the book can be purchased at the curiosity shop sometime after the first purchase is made for a wagon.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
The first appearance of the book, where it is a reward in the present for winning the guessing game in Orph's animal appreciation festival.

===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
While there is no actual book to speak of, part of the player's record is a list of monsters they have defeated.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
The book is remplaced by the Defeated Monster List in the Battle Records menu (availiable after you encountered Stella).
