A Gem slime is, as suggested by its name, shaped like a 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. Gem slimes are typically the best sources of [[gold]] in the games they appear in, netting an adventurer several thousand for defeating one.  
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.


The Gem slime's distinct design was lent to a pair of pallet swaps when it was added to the main series in {{VII}}, being the [[Emperor slime]] and [[Platinum king jewel]].
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.

Gem slimes appear as one of the grotto-specific {{MFamilies}}s 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]] coins. 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.
==={{DQ10}}===
{{Clear}}
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.

The Gem slime is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

A gem slime is a 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.

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.

Description They await adventurers with a graceful grin, then maul them with Magic Burst. Immune to all magic.

These shining slimes were long sought by adventurers, thanks to a tale that told of all they touched turned to gold.
  • There are several treasure maps in the game with special floors where only gem slimes can be encountered.[1]

Dragon Quest X [edit | edit source]

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.
