The Gem slime is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

A gem slime is a slime shaped like a golden, brilliant-cut diamond, a trait most apparent when viewed from the side since its back tapers to a point away from its front. It also has a tiara-like crown that bends back and appears to be attached to the point of its jewel-shaped body. In certain games, it has an animation where it extends its facets into eight points, giving it the appearance of a shining sun. Gem slimes are one of the best, if not the best, source of gold, netting an adventurer several thousand for defeating one. In several games, they possess a metallic body like that of a metal slime, making them difficult to harm, and regularly flee from battle.

According to its description in Dragon Quest X, there is a legend that anyone who defeats this monster will never have to worry about gold again, which is why they are constantly hunted by adventurers.

Description They await adventurers with a graceful grin, then maul them with Magic Burst. Immune to all magic.

These shining slimes were long sought by adventurers, thanks to a tale that told of all they touched turned to gold.
  • There are several treasure maps in the game with special floors where only gem slimes can be encountered.[1]

Dragon Quest X

Gem slime began appearing in Version 1.2. Like in the previous games, these slimes have a metallic body that is hard to damage, they can cast Magic Burst, and will drop 10,080 gold. Due to its high amount of MP, it will likely defeat a party full of players if it is able to cast Magic Burst. They can be encountered in the hidden floors of Magic Labyrinths.

Dragon Quest Tact

Gem slime appears as a S-rank monster of the Slime family on its own banner alongside the Gold-plated puppet as part of the 1-Year Festival Eve "Invites to the Land of Golden Sands" event. As of the most recent update in the Japanese version, it can be scouted from any banner, including the Regular SP Scout.
