==={{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, [[Sizz]] and [[Sizzle]] have a higher chance ({{fraction|1|16}}) to slay the slimes than [[Critical Hit]]s ({{fraction|1|64}}).

The [[Fire Breath]] used by [[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 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]].

}}*During [[Template:DQIXQuest/109|Quest #109: Elementary Training]], the player must defeat two metal slimes while under the effects of [[Wizard Ward]] in order to become an [[Armamentalist]].
*The player must defeat three metal slimes or more in a single battle on the high plateau near [[Angel Falls]] in order to complete [[Template:DQIXQuest/136|Quest #136: EXTERMINATE!]]. The quest can be repeated as many times as desired.

==={{DQ10}}===
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.

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.
<br><br>
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.

Metal slimes are, as of yet, encountered exclusively as enemies on stages such as EXP Quest: Beginner and Intermediate, as well as certain stages where they have a random chance to appear and can be defeated for high amounts of experience. They can cast [[Frizz]] or will waste their turns doing nothing and eventually flee after enough turns have passed if they aren't defeated first.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
A Metal slime appears as one of the costumes for [[Slime]] in this game.
