For the monster class in Dragon Quest VII, see Healslime (Vocation).
The Healslime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, it is a floating, tentacled Slime (looking much like a jellyfish) that can Heal its allies.
Characteristics
Healslimes are similar to jellyfish, having blue, oblong heads with yellow tentacles dangling underneath. Their eyes are often the same yellow color as their tentacles, though there are instances where their eyes are white.
While stronger than normal Slimes, Healslimes are still mediocre combatants and make themselves most threatening when they heal other, more powerful monsters before the player has a chance to subdue them. Because of this, defeating the Healslimes in an enemy group first is often the best course of action if the player cannot defeat the other enemies before they can be healed. Many enemies such as the Restless armour have the ability to summon a Healslime in battle and it is the most often summoned monster in all of the Dragon Quest Series.

Healslimes prove to be the first instance in the series where monsters can actually help the player in combat: Ragnar McRyan is assisted by a Healslime named Healie during his quest to save a group of missing children.

Unselfish slimes that are always on standby to step in and save others. Often summoned by their monster mates for support.
(extended) They greet friends with their right tentacles, foes with their left, and everyone else with the others.

Note: Healslimes are also summoned by Restless armours for backup.
A Healslime (then Healer) is the first boss monster that the player encounters, this particular Healslime being Hale, one of the King of GreatTree's favorite monsters. Hale will want to join upon his defeat, an offer the player should take up due to the healing and support spells the Healslime can offer.
Healslimes appear as rank F members of the Slime family and are the last rank F monster in that family. They can be found wandering about Xeroph Isle during daytime.
The healslime is a Rank F monster in this game. They can be found underground in the Doubtback, at night and during the day; though during the day, they are less numerous thanks to the Dracky being more common in the caves then. Healslimes can also be found underground in the Doubtback when it's raining, with about the same frequencies during both times of day; though instead of being interspersed with Drackies, they are then interspersed with Wild boarfish.
Wild healslimes, when scouted, naturally have the "Healer" and "Agility Boost" skill paths, as well as possibly having another "Wild" Skill path in addition.
The best friend of the player's character, Rocket, is a Healslime named Hooly. He wears a red scarf. Hooly's father, Mr. Hooly, and Curate Rollo also appear to be Healslimes.
Healix, the somewhat timid healslime, is a major character in the game. He looks like every other healslime, with the notable expection of having a bejeweled crown perched on his head. Also, Healix has not been corrupted by evil, like all the other monsters in the game, thanks to the aforementioned crown, given to him by his father.

| Field Notes |
Kindly creatures who instantly attend to allies' ailments, even when their own wounds are worse. Their bulbous blue bodies are similar to standard slimes, but they float as if by magic, tentacles trailing in the wind. |
