Trivia
- The heroes of Dragon Quest IV are seen wearing the slime earrings in their artwork starting with the artwork made for the Playstation remake of DQIV. Depending on the artist, the male hero either wears the earrings in both ears or only one of them. Despite this, the slime earrings don't actually appear as an accessory in any version of Dragon Quest IV. They also do not sport this accessory in any of their Famicom artwork, presumably because the accessory itself didn't exist yet at that time.
- Slime earrings were available as a cosmetic accessory for a limited time in Square Enix's MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV starting in 2013 during that year's Tokyo Game Show event.
