The '''King Slime''' is a recurring monster in the ''[[Dragon Quest series|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', it is a giant, crown-wearing [[Slime]].


From [[Dragon Quest IV]] on, regular [[slime]]s have the ability to merge to a King Slime. The game makes it appear like random behavior actually it is a different monster group from the beginning.
==Characteristics==
King Slimes appear to be large, engorged Slimes, notably due to their chubby cheeks imposing on the edges of their toothless grins. Going along with their kingly status, they have crowns, usually shown as being gold-rimmed with purple and green striped fabric.


Slimes that will merge to a King Slime will not attack, only "call for help" till there are eight slimes. Then they will merge. They have more HP, and are fairly resistant against spells that affect a whole group. Thus the player will be able to kill off a few, but not all of them preventing the merger. It is useless to try, since individual slimes do not give experience in this encounter, only the King Slime does.
In terms of strength, King Slimes are a massive step up from the average Slime in all parameters, especially HP and attack strength. They are often shown as being versed in magic, normally having Zing as one of the spells in their arsenal, meaning that they can be more than just a physical force. While King Slimes can appear as is, players will normally first encounter this monster upon running into a group of special slimes that can summon others of their type; when eight of these Slimes gather, they can pile up and fuse into a single King Slime.


In Dragon Quest IV, the King Slime is only encountered in chapter four (The Sisters of Monbaraba) around [[Haville]] and [[Aktemto]]. It is the toughest monster to be encountered there, and gives 100 XP and 150 gold (standard slimes give 1 XP and 2 gold). It usually casts [[Fendspell]] early in battle, making it immune to magic attacks. It sometimes drops [[Mystic Acorn]]s that raise max MP.
