The King cureslime is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. They look identical to king slimes, but have green colored ooze and a red and purple striped crown.

Characteristics

Despite their name, they have little in common with normal cureslimes as far as appearances go. They have access to the most potent healing magic available, using spells like Fullheal and even Omniheal to heal their allies in battle, making them a nuisance to fight against.

Monster Meadow quotes

Quote

"Take care of your health. Don't do anything too dangerous!

Hello! Having fun adventures out there?

Being big is good! Yup!"

King cureslime (PS1)

Quote

"Be goo to yourself, you hear? Don't misooze your body, or you'll regret it.

Goo day to you! How's your adventure gooing? No nasty slurprises, I trust?

When it comes to slimes, the bigger the better!"
