The '''gem slime''' (originally '''GoldSlime''' / '''Gold Slime''' due to display constraints) is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series]]''. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'', it is a [[Slime (Family)|slime]] in the shape of a brilliant, golden jewel.
 
The '''Gem slime''' is a monster in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
A gem slime is, as suggested by its name, shaped like a gem, a trait most apparent when viewed from the side since its back tapers to a point away from its front. It also has a tiara-like crown that bends back and appears to be attached to the point of its gem-shaped body. As indicated by its original name, it is gold in color.
A gem slime is a [[Slime family|slime]] shaped like a golden, brilliant-cut diamond, a trait most apparent when viewed from the side since its back tapers to a point away from its front. It also has a tiara-like crown that bends back and appears to be attached to the point of its jewel-shaped body. In certain games, it has an animation where it extends its facets into eight points, giving it the appearance of a shining sun. Gem slimes are one of the best, if not the best, source of gold, netting an adventurer several thousand for defeating one. In several games, they possess a metallic body like that of a metal slime, making them difficult to harm, and regularly flee from battle.


Gem slimes, depending on the game they appear in, act either as metal monsters or gold monsters, paying out high experience as the former and high gold as the latter. They have the typical statistics of a metal monster when acting as one, though they still retain some degree of resistance when acting as a source of gold, though not nearly as much as metal monsters.
According to its description in ''Dragon Quest X'', there is a legend that anyone who defeats this monster will never have to worry about gold again, which is why they are constantly hunted by adventurers.

==={{DQ10}}===
Gem slime began appearing in Version 1.2. Like in the previous games, these slimes have a metallic body that is hard to damage, they can cast [[Magic Burst]], and will drop 10,080 gold. Due to its high amount of MP, it will likely defeat a party full of players if it is able to cast Magic Burst. They can be encountered in the hidden floors of Magic Labyrinths.

Gem slimes appear as one of the grotto-specific monsters found in the game, specifically appearing in the tomb-like grottoes. They have metal monster-like stats and are capable of casting [[Magic Burst]], though defeating even one will net the player more than 10,000 gold. Adventurers seeking riches can farm Gem Slimes with [[Thunder Thrust]] and [[Hatchet Man]] to quickly earn enough money for even the most expensive purchases, such as Chronocrystals, which cost a staggering 50,000 coins each. However, moneymakers should still remain wary of the powerful [[Magic Burst]], as it can take out an unprepared party, especially when multiple Gem Slimes are present in battle.
