The '''bubble slime''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{Dragon Quest II}}, it is a poisonous puddle of goo and often the first {{MFamilies}} to inflict a [[Status effect#Negative Status Ailments|status ailment]] on players.

Bubble [[Slime family|slimes]] are, as their name would suggest, relatives of [[slime]]s but are more fluid and green by comparison. They also appear to be perpetually bubbling, though the bubbles appear to hang in place instead of being constantly produced. When the slimes get tired, they submerse themselves in poisonous swamps to rest.

Normally stronger than standard [[slime]]s, bubble slimes are also {{Poison}}ous; the very first {{MFamilies}} in the entire series capable of inflicting poison on players' characters. This poisoning ability tends to make bubble slimes more of a nuisance than a substantial threat, assuming the player is well-stocked and at an appropriate level.

Bubble slimes appeared since the beginning of the game, often encountered near the starting village on each continent. As always, they are able to poison new adventurers with their attacks. Starting with Version 5.0 of the game, vicious bubble slimes can be encountered in the [[Nadiria|Netherworld]], as well.
