The '''Slime stack''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, it is, as indicated by its name, a stack of three different {{Slime}}s.

A Slime stack is simply an organized stack of three different {{Slime}}s: a [[Slime|blue one]] on the bottom, a [[She-slime|red one]] in the middle, and a [[Lime slime|green one]] on top. According to their monster info in ''IX'', a Slime stack is the result of a failed attempt at forming a [[King slime]], as there were not enough {{Slime}}s to do so.

Given that they are three slimes working together, they are fairly formidable when first confronted and especially exceed the sum of their parts. They attack either by swinging themselves or by separating and launching themselves at enemies.

}}*The player may first encounter Slime stacks on [[Newid Isle]], where {{Alltrades Abbey 9}} and [[Porth Llaffan]] are located, though they will first appear as seemingly normal {{Slime}}s. However, these particular slimes are stronger than those previously faced and can call on other Slimes, forming into a Slime stack when three gather. On [[Pluvi Isle]], the Slime stacks appear as is. It is also possible for a character to dress up like a Slime stack in reverse order (with the blue [[Slime]] on top and green at the bottom) by wearing a [[Slood]] and [[Gooey gear]] together.

*The Slime stack, along with its related kin, are possibly a reference to a game-play mechanic in the ''[[Slime MoriMori (series)|Slime MoriMori]]'' series where it is possible to stack things on a slime, such as objects and {{MFamilies}}s, including other {{Slime}}s.

*It is unknown if the Green slime in the slime stack is intended to be a [[Lime slime]]. In some games, such as {{X}}, the Green slime is the very same kind as the one ridden by a [[Slime knight]].
