'''Healie''' is a minor character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', an optional character in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' and has a cameo in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. He is a [[Healslime|healslime]], a variant on the [[Slime|slime]] monster able to cast healing spells, but unlike most healslimes, he is friendly rather than hostile.
'''Healie''' is a minor character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', an optional character in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' and has a cameo in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. He is a [[Healslime|healslime]] who seeks to become a human. Whether this is the same character in each appearance or just a homage is unknown, and left open to player interpretation.

[[Ragnar]] first encounters him in [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 1|his chapter]] within the [[Auld Well]], at which point he joins the party. Healie uses his knowledge of local geography to help Ragnar in his quest to locate the missing children of [[Burland]]. He proves to be an extremely useful ally in battle, as Ragnar is incapable of using any spells, so the only way he can heal himself without Healie's help is with items such as [[herb|herbs]]. Healie can also contribute to combat, though the damage he is capable of dealing is fairly unimpressive. As an AI-controlled character, his behavior is also somewhat random and unreliable.

Towards the end of [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 1|Chapter 1]], he states that he has resolved to become a human. He apparently continues to travel with Ragnar because they can be found together in [[Dragon Quest IV Chapter 5|Chapter 5]], shortly before the fight with [[Balzack]]. Healie has succeeded in becoming a human through unknown means and has taken on the sprite of a bard. This, however, is the last he is seen in the game; after Ragnar joins the Hero's party, it seems Healie continues his travels alone.
