According to their bestiary entry in ''IX'', a slime stack is the result of a failed attempt at forming a [[King slime]], as there were not enough slimes 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 by separating and launching themselves at enemies.

The player may first encounter slime stacks on Newid Isle, where Alltrades Abbey and Porth Llaffan are, though they will first appear as seemingly normal slimes.

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 is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest IX, it is, as indicated by its name, a stack of three slimes.

Characteristics

A slime stack is simply an organized stack of three different slimes: a blue one on the bottom, a red one in the middle, and a green one on top. According to their bestiary entry in IX, a slime stack is the result of a failed attempt at forming a King slime, as there were not enough slimes 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 by separating and launching themselves at enemies.
