Like Drake slimes, Dragon slimes are Slimes that carry a few traits of dragons, namely a crest, wings, and a tail. They are blue in color.
They essentially possess the same traits as drake slimes, having some draconic qualities contained in a Slime form, but of a superior strength, such as being able to breathe harsher fire than Drake slimes can. As of X, the species has been given access to ice breath abilities to differentiate it from its pallet swap, which continued in XI where it lives in the frozen north of the game and exclusively uses cold attacks.
These slimes are descended from dragons and are justly proud of their breath attacks. In fact, they'd rather grill their own steaks, even when dining the fanciest of eateries
Dragon slime appears as an A-rank monster of the Slime family during the limited Slime Fest banner alongside Queen slime on her banner. Starting with Version 2.0 of the game, it was added to the pool of special monsters and could be scouted from any limited banner. The Dragon slime can participate in the Pickled slime's Battle Road as a party member.
