The '''She-slime''' is the first pallet swap monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|very first game]], they are orange, ever-so-slightly-stronger Slimes.

Despite the name, the orange slimes' sexes are as ambiguous as those of regular globs and the nomenclature is meant to evoke real life species of animals such as ladybugs.  

The change from the older Red slime localization name is due to modern hardware with more color shades available than what the graphical limitations of the {{NES}} allowed, with the globs being more of an orange shade than red. According to some games, the She-slimes are a different color than ordinary slimes due to an uncommon genetic mutation; this relative rarity has led them to be referred to as "don't-often-see-slimes". In some games, such as {{VI}} and the ''Joker'' series, it is stated that She-slimes gained their red-orange coloration from their carnivorous diet.

Starting with ''Dragon Quest: Monster Parade'', She-slimes gained the ability to undergo [[Slime (amalgoomated)|slimification]] and form a [[King she-slime]] when eight gather together just like their blue and metallic cousins.

A She-slime appears as one of the costumes for [[Slime]] in this game.

==Etymology==

''Besu'' is a corruption of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_alphabet Hebrew letter] ''Beth'', the second in their alphabet. In the context of {{Main Series}}, it's used to declare this monster "Slime B", the second version of the more common blue [[Slime]]s.
