The Metal medley is a recurring monster in the series, first appearing in Dragon Quest IX. It is a Metal slime version of a Slime stack.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Unlike their squishier cousins, they are only ever encountered directly. They are tougher than the basic Metal slime and (matching their appearance) worth three times as much experience. Metal medleys are known for their ability to cast Kerfrizz, setting an opponent ablaze with a burst of fireballs.

Of curious note, Metal medleys are particularly targeted as prey by the Hunter mechs. If one of these metal-hunting mechanical marauders is nearby, surely its mark can't be far off...
