The '''Slime''' is the mascot of the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' console role-playing game franchise. Designed by [[Akira Toriyama]], the basic slime resembles a water drop with two large eyes and a big smile. It made its first appearance in ''[[Dragon Warrior]]'' as the weakest enemy in the game, and usually the first the player encounters. It continues its history as a weak enemy in the series.

:<small>''[[File:Slime.png]]This article is about the monster. For the family, see ''[[:Slime family]]</small>


The Slime is also the protagonist of its own spinoff games, ''[[Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest]]'', a Japanese [[Game Boy Advance]] title. It was followed by ''[[Rocket Slime|Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime]]'', which was released worldwide, for the [[Nintendo DS]]. These games follow a nation of slimes who are intelligent, and civilized, but also cute and somewhat comical.
The '''Slime''' is a recurring enemy in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in the very first game, Slimes have since become the series' mascot due to their popularity and iconic qualities. The basic slime has been in every Dragon Quest to date.


The Slime is often seen as representing the [[Enix]] side of the [[Square Enix]] merger. Its counterpart is the chocobo, which represents Square. The two creatures decorate the front of the official Square Enix store, as well as its shopping bags.
==Characteristics==
The basic Slime is known for its onion/droplet shape, round eyes, and goofy, toothless smile, the former two traits having become the ones shared amongst nearly all other Slimes.


"Originally when we thought up the slime it was a pile of goo and we gave it to Toriyama-san to draw a picture of and make it a proper monster. We had imagined it an icky pool of slime, but when he came back with that perfectly shaped tear-drop monster we thought it was perfect. That's part of Toriyama's power to take something like a pool of slime and use his imagination to make it a great character."
They are typically the weakest enemies in every game, having no abilities and being easily disposed of, and likely the first monster the player ever encounters in a battle. However, starting with ''Dragon Quest IV'', there will occasionally be stronger Slimes that can call on others of their kind; they may form a [[King Slime]] when eight gather and starting in ''Dragon Quest IX'' three slimes may join to form the Slime Stack. In the DS remake of ''Dragon Quest IV'', these Slimes appear under '''slimification''' in [['The Big Book of Beasts']].
-- ''[[Yuji Horii]]''


The Slime shares its name with characters from other games, including many other RPGs, such as an enemy monster from Namco's ''The Tower of Druaga'', which was released two years prior to the first ''Dragon Quest'' game.
In some games, slimes can be domesticated into pets and others have gained the ability to speak to humans in their own tongue. In [[Dragon Quest IX]], all slimes have a certain verbal tic, ''goo'', which can replace words like ''good''.


== Stats ==
The basic Slime gives 1 Experience Point and 1 Gold Coin.

There are many different types of slime found throughout the series, including slimes in different colors, nautical slimes (wearing conch shells), metal slimes (with extremely high defense), and cureslimes (who have tentacles and use magic). In some ''Dragon Quest'' titles, slimes also appear as friendly NPCs and peaceful inhabitants of cities.

The Slime is a recurring enemy in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in the very first game, Slimes have since become the series' mascot due to their popularity and iconic qualities. The basic slime has been in every Dragon Quest to date.

Characteristics

The basic Slime is known for its onion/droplet shape, round eyes, and goofy, toothless smile, the former two traits having become the ones shared amongst nearly all other Slimes.

They are typically the weakest enemies in every game, having no abilities and being easily disposed of, and likely the first monster the player ever encounters in a battle. However, starting with Dragon Quest IV, there will occasionally be stronger Slimes that can call on others of their kind; they may form a King Slime when eight gather and starting in Dragon Quest IX three slimes may join to form the Slime Stack. In the DS remake of Dragon Quest IV, these Slimes appear under slimification in 'The Big Book of Beasts'.

In some games, slimes can be domesticated into pets and others have gained the ability to speak to humans in their own tongue. In Dragon Quest IX, all slimes have a certain verbal tic, goo, which can replace words like good.

The basic Slime gives 1 Experience Point and 1 Gold Coin.
