Editing Slime (section)

==Trivia==
*The original {{Famicom}} artwork for a slime drawn by [[Akira Toriyama]] had the slippery creature not blue, but a lavender colour.
*Unlike his contemporaries, longtime ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' staff writer (and current Nintendo of America localization manager) Alan Averill never had a photo of him printed in the magazine; instead, he was represented by a plush Slime doll.
*The internet MMORPG ''Kingdom of Loathing'' has a monster called Irritating Series of Random [[Encounter]]s which is a group of 8 Slimes. It is a reference to the random [[encounter]]s of most RPG games.
*In an interview, series creator [[Yuji Horii]] revealed that his inspiration for this enemy was some "slime-looking enemy" (likely either the bubbly slime or creeping crud ''[[Wikipedia:Wizardry (video game series)|Wizardry]]'' series).<sup>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131020071233/http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2010/07/09/dragon-quest-creator-sheds-light-on-the-creation-of-the-slime/]</sup>
*Issue 277 of ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' featured a Slime in the Star Power section, where the "gooey blue mascot" had its career as one of many "hapless punching bags" charted, as well as its physiology analysed. The section also showcased a handful of other types of Slimes, such as the [[Metal slime]] and [[Slime knight]].
*Despite often being the emblem used to represent the series, they are not used as the series symbol in {{Smash Ultimate}}.
*There is a minigame called [[Slippin' Slime]] that appears in the remakes for {{VI}}, which functions similarly to [[wikipedia:curling|curling]].
