The '''Metal slime knight''' is a monster in the series.


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Metal Slime Knights look just like Slime Knights beyond color changes. One could say that the color of the knight and the Slime have been switched around, with the Slime being gray and the Knight being green.
Metal slime knights are diminutive swordsmen riding on the backs of [[Slime family|metal slimes]]. They wield a sword and shield of dark pink metal, donning green armour and helmets with a purple plume. They do not yield the same amount of experience as their mounts, as either the [[metal slime]]s that let themselves get captured by the [[slime knight]]s are the least experienced slimes, or the slime knights shield their steeds from the finishing blow. Indeed, they are not even vulnerable to anti-metal weapons and skills, nor do they possess astonishing speed, a high chance of dodging attacks and immunity to magic. Instead, rumours abound that the steed is merely painted chrome.
 
These slime knights often have the ability to cast healing magic on themselves and fellow monsters like their green cousins. In some games, they are even able to perform some skillful feats or swordplay and acrobatic somersaults off the backs of their metallic steeds.


Although they are indicated as being [[metal monsters]], Metal Slime Knights are more metal in name than anything else. They lack the monstrous defenses and resistances of typical metal monsters, and while they normally give a large amount of experience it is no way near as much as that given by other metal monsters.
In the PlayStation 2 remake of ''V'' and the Nintendo 3DS version of ''VII'', the metal slime knight was further distinguished from an ordinary one by wielding a scimitar, a round shield emblazoned with the design of a [[king slime]], wearing purple gloves and boots, and a red plume on their helmets.

The Metal slime knight is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Metal slime knights are diminutive swordsmen riding on the backs of metal slimes. They wield a sword and shield of dark pink metal, donning green armour and helmets with a purple plume. They do not yield the same amount of experience as their mounts, as either the metal slimes that let themselves get captured by the slime knights are the least experienced slimes, or the slime knights shield their steeds from the finishing blow. Indeed, they are not even vulnerable to anti-metal weapons and skills, nor do they possess astonishing speed, a high chance of dodging attacks and immunity to magic. Instead, rumours abound that the steed is merely painted chrome.

These slime knights often have the ability to cast healing magic on themselves and fellow monsters like their green cousins. In some games, they are even able to perform some skillful feats or swordplay and acrobatic somersaults off the backs of their metallic steeds.

In the PlayStation 2 remake of V and the Nintendo 3DS version of VII, the metal slime knight was further distinguished from an ordinary one by wielding a scimitar, a round shield emblazoned with the design of a king slime, wearing purple gloves and boots, and a red plume on their helmets.
