The '''Metal slime''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|original game]], it is the forefather of the [[Metal slime family]] and set the standard for every member therein, dropping a large amount of experience if it can be defeated.

==Characteristics==
As far as appearances go, the Metal slime is nearly identical to a normal [[Slime]], with its only notable differences being its silver-gray colouring and metallic luster.

Metal slimes are infamous monsters in the series and for a good reason: they have one of the highest {{Exp}}erience point payouts of any enemy in the games, exceeded only by far stronger monsters and other metal slimes; even some bosses pay out less than a single Metal slime does. This comes at a catch, however: Metal slimes rarely appear, and when they do, they usually run away at the first chance, often without a scratch due to their high {{Agility}} and {{Defence}}. Even if the player gets lucky and a [[Metal slime]] or two decide to stick around for a turn, nearly all normal attacks will either miss or do a measly 1 point of damage, though their low {{HP}} means every hit counts. Nearly all forms of spell and skill are completely ineffective against Metal slimes.

Anti-metal weapons such as the [[Metal slime spear]] will always deal damage to a Metal slime, and the [[Poison needle]] has a 12.5%({{fraction|1|8}}) chance to kill instantly if it connects, as well as the [[Hela's hammer]]'s 37.5%({{fraction|3|8}}) are popular among players who enjoy gambling on mashing the globs in one shot.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Metal slimes make their first appearance as the greatest source of {{Exp}}erience from any monster. The player may start dealing normal damage to Metal slimes as they near the Level 30 cap. Due to the fact that true spell immunity does not exist in the original {{NES}} version of {{I}}, [[Sizz]] and [[Sizzle]] have a higher chance (1/16) to slay the slimes than [[Critical Hit]]s (1/64).

The [[Fire Breath]] granted by the {{Dragon}} form after casting [[Puff!]] is capable of instantly defeating Metal slimes. Because the transformation drastically cuts the caster's {{Agility}}, it is strongly advised to follow up with [[Acceleratle]].

The remakes allow for the [[Metal slime (Recruit)|recruiting of Metal slimes]], though the chances of one wanting to join the {{Party 5}} are abysmally low, combining with their rarity and difficulty in defeating to make them one of most difficult monsters to recruit in the game. Their plethora of resistances and Metal slime stats can make them worth the effort, though they are not nearly as versatile as [[Liquid metal slime (Recruit)|Liquid metal slimes]].

Metal slimes appeared from the beginning of the game, dropping 1,206 experience when defeated. In order to discourage players from leveling too quickly, metal slimes would not appear on the field, only accompanying other monsters. They are highly impervious to all forms of harm, can cast [[Frizz]] on opponents and naturally, have a high chance of fleeing from battle.

Starting with Version 1.1, an item known as the Metal ticket would cause a metal slime to appear when used as a tool in battle. Version 1.2 also introduced the Metal slime coin, which would allow players to encounter metal slimes when used in the Magic Labyrinth.

==={{DQ11}}===
Like in ''Dragon Quest X'', Metal slimes, along with other members of the metal slime family in this game, only appears when fighting other monsters. Additionally, depending on the party's average level scale, the [[Pep|Pep Power]] Electro Light may replace enemies fought in a normal battle with Metal slimes or their [[Vicious monsters|vicious]] versions.

The Metal slime is a two-star member of the [[Slime family]] with a weight of 3. It naturally learns [[Frizz|Blaze]], [[Crack|Icebolt]] and [[Whack|Beat]]. Its in-game description reads "If you tap its mythril silver body, it makes a nice sound."

==={{DQMJ}}===
Metal slimes may first appear on [[Celeste Isle]], where the [[Hunter mech]]s hint to their residence on the island. They can also show up on [[Fert Isle]]. However, "yellow-bellies" will not appear on the overworld in any of these instances. The Metal menagerie on [[Palaish Isle]] is the only place where Metal slimes can be seen before engaging in a battle, though this area cannot be accessed until after the player solidifies his or her position in the finals of the tournament.
 
Given their resilience, Metal slimes are one of the most difficult {{MFamilies}}s to scout, though not nearly as much as the stronger metal {{MFamilies}}s the player can run into. In the early parts of the game, a [[Critical Hit]] during the scouting process is one of the most reliable ways to scout one, though a great deal of luck is still needed.

Metal slimes have a reaction time faster than most players, and it is advised to corner them on cliffsides if possible. The little bugger can jump though, so try to corral them in areas with walls at least two blocks high.

The '''Metal slime''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|original game]], it is the forefather of the [[Metal slime family]] and set the standard for every member therein, dropping a large amount of experience if it can be defeated.

==Characteristics==
As far as appearances go, the Metal slime is nearly identical to a normal [[Slime]], with its only notable differences being its silver-gray colouring and metallic luster.

Metal slimes are infamous monsters in the series and for a good reason: they have one of the highest {{Exp}}erience point payouts of any enemy in the games, exceeded only by far stronger monsters and other metal slimes; even some bosses pay out less than a single Metal slime does. This comes at a catch, however: Metal slimes rarely appear, and when they do, they usually run away at the first chance, often without a scratch due to their high {{Agility}} and {{Defence}}. Even if the player gets lucky and a [[Metal slime]] or two decide to stick around for a turn, nearly all normal attacks will either miss or do a measly 1 point of damage, though their low {{HP}} means every hit counts. Nearly all forms of spell and skill are completely ineffective against Metal slimes.

Anti-metal weapons such as the [[Metal slime spear]] will always deal damage to a Metal slime, and the [[Poison needle]] has a 12.5%({{fraction|1|8}}) chance to kill instantly if it connects, as well as the [[Hela's hammer]]'s 37.5%({{fraction|3|8}}) are popular among players who enjoy gambling on mashing the globs in one shot.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ}}===
Metal slimes make their first appearance as the greatest source of {{Exp}}erience from any monster. The player may start dealing normal damage to Metal slimes as they near the Level 30 cap. Due to the fact that true spell immunity does not exist in the original {{NES}} version of {{I}}, [[Sizz]] and [[Sizzle]] have a higher chance (1/16) to slay the slimes than [[Critical Hit]]s (1/64).

The [[Fire Breath]] granted by the {{Dragon}} form after casting [[Puff!]] is capable of instantly defeating Metal slimes. Because the transformation drastically cuts the caster's {{Agility}}, it is strongly advised to follow up with [[Acceleratle]].

The remakes allow for the [[Metal slime (Recruit)|recruiting of Metal slimes]], though the chances of one wanting to join the {{Party 5}} are abysmally low, combining with their rarity and difficulty in defeating to make them one of most difficult monsters to recruit in the game. Their plethora of resistances and Metal slime stats can make them worth the effort, though they are not nearly as versatile as [[Liquid metal slime (Recruit)|Liquid metal slimes]].

Metal slimes appeared from the beginning of the game, dropping 1,206 experience when defeated. In order to discourage players from leveling too quickly, metal slimes would not appear on the field, only accompanying other monsters. They are highly impervious to all forms of harm, can cast [[Frizz]] on opponents and naturally, have a high chance of fleeing from battle.

Starting with Version 1.1, an item known as the Metal ticket would cause a metal slime to appear when used as a tool in battle. Version 1.2 also introduced the Metal slime coin, which would allow players to encounter metal slimes when used in the Magic Labyrinth.

==={{DQ11}}===
Like in ''Dragon Quest X'', Metal slimes, along with other members of the metal slime family in this game, only appears when fighting other monsters. Additionally, depending on the party's average level scale, the [[Pep|Pep Power]] Electro Light may replace enemies fought in a normal battle with Metal slimes or their [[Vicious monsters|vicious]] versions.

The Metal slime is a two-star member of the [[Slime family]] with a weight of 3. It naturally learns [[Frizz|Blaze]], [[Crack|Icebolt]] and [[Whack|Beat]]. Its in-game description reads "If you tap its mythril silver body, it makes a nice sound."
{{Stub}}

==={{DQMJ}}===
Metal slimes may first appear on [[Celeste Isle]], where the [[Hunter mech]]s hint to their residence on the island. They can also show up on [[Fert Isle]]. However, "yellow-bellies" will not appear on the overworld in any of these instances. The Metal menagerie on [[Palaish Isle]] is the only place where Metal slimes can be seen before engaging in a battle, though this area cannot be accessed until after the player solidifies his or her position in the finals of the tournament.
 
Given their resilience, Metal slimes are one of the most difficult {{MFamilies}}s to scout, though not nearly as much as the stronger metal {{MFamilies}}s the player can run into. In the early parts of the game, a [[Critical Hit]] during the scouting process is one of the most reliable ways to scout one, though a great deal of luck is still needed.

Metal slimes have a reaction time faster than most players, and it is advised to corner them on cliffsides if possible. The little bugger can jump though, so try to corral them in areas with walls at least two blocks high.

The '''Rockbomb''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is a craggy boulder with a trademark smile and penchant for exploding, occasionally killing everyone in the [[party]].

==Characteristics==
{{Monster}}s made of living stone, rockbombs are part of the [[Material family]]. They are bluish, sometimes gray, boulders with a maniacal faces with particularly gaped teethed. Despite looking like plain boulders, Rockbombs are actually immense geodes with red cores.

Rockbombs are not very aggressive. Most times, they smile strangely or otherwise waste their turn, sometimes even entering battle asleep. However, the boulders are not to be taken lightly as they are capable of self-destructing without any warning via the devastating [[Kamikazee]] spell. Strategy-wise, it is useful to remove the rockbombs first when encountering them in battle to prevent them from casting [[Kamikazee]]. This can prove more difficult in some titles over others, as some games give the bombs an ''enormous'' {{HP}} stat compared to other {{MFamilies}}s in the area. The [[Poison needle|Poison Needle]] is particularly effective against Rockbombs.

Rockbombs appeared from the beginning of the game. They can perform an attack while cackling insanely and will waste their turns by grinning maliciously, and naturally, still possess their signature ability to self-destruct by casting [[Kamikazee]]. Starting with Version 5.0, Vicious rockbombs can be encountered in the [[Nadiria|Netherworld]]. They no longer waste their turns in battle by grinning.

While still occasionally mentioned as being {{MFamilies}}s, Rockbombs are treated as items throughout the game, often found sleeping on patches of dirt. Getting knocked into the air will angrily stir a Rockbomb from its rest, and it will detonate the moment it hits the ground. They can be used as ammo in tank battles, but are mainly used to damage enemies and clear obstructions.

If you can deplete the life gauge of the Rockbomb and get far enough away before its timed [[Kamikazee]] attack expires and it explodes, destroying all in its path, the enemy just might drop a '''[[Rockbomb shard]]'''. These things are risky to get, but they're worth it.

==Trivia==
*In {{Dragon Quest VII}}, the [[Gadabout]] has a joke about the Rockbomb. It goes ''"Have you heard about the rockbomb who liked to Rock and Roll?"''
*While often noted for their grins, they are never shown smiling in {{Rocket Slime}}, bearing slight frowns while asleep and having angrily agape mouths while steaming from being woken up.
*The bomb's finishing move in ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory]]'' is likely a parody of the character Sephiroth's supernova attack from ''[[Final Fantasy]] VII''.
