''' | The '''Slime''' ({{ja|スライム|Suraimu}}, ''Slime'') is a common enemy in the ''Dragon Quest'' series, also serving as the series mascot. | ||
==Origin== | ==Origin== | ||
In the ''Dragon Quest'' games, Slimes are often the first monster that players come across. They are typically the weakest monster, and can be taken down with ease, as they lack any real offensive abilities. Other variations of Slime exist, such as She-Slime (which, despite its name, is not necessarily female) and the elusive Metal Slime. In later games, such as ''Dragon Quest IX'', there are special Slimes that—though often unassuming—can merge with or stack onto other Slimes, creating a new type of Slime, such as a King Slime or a Slime Stack. | |||

Certain games include Slimes as companions with their own personality and dialogue. In localized titles, they often use slime-related puns or phrases: for example, "gooman" instead of "human", "slime" instead of "time", "acrooze" instead of "accrue", or simply saying "slurp" or "goo" as a verbal tic. | ||

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Slime enemies are commonly featured in other fantasy-inspired series, including some featured in ''Super Smash Bros.'' | |||
**In ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past}}'', using Magic Powder on certain enemies will turn them into a Slime. Rather than the famous blue color, these Slimes instead appear greenish-orange, more closely resembling an onion. | |||
**In the Namco arcade game {{uvn|Babylonian Castle Saga|The Tower of Druaga}}, which predates the original ''Dragon Quest'' by two years, Slimes appear as a common foe. These Slimes are simple faceless blobs, typically green in color, and much more nondescript than the iconic ''Dragon Quest'' design. | |||
*Slime previously appeared alongside {{uv|Mario}} characters in ''{{s|mariowiki|Itadaki Street DS}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Fortune Street}}'', as well as {{uv|Final Fantasy}} characters in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Sports Mix}}''. | |||
**Slimes also appeared alongside [[Simon Belmont]], [[Pit]], and [[Mega Man]] in the ''Captain N: The Game Master'' episode "Trojan Dragon". | |||
*Slime is the third non-playable character to appear in the panoramic banner, following [[Mr. Saturn]] and [[Morgana]]. | *Slime is the third non-playable character to appear in the panoramic banner, following [[Mr. Saturn]] and [[Morgana]]. | ||
*In the trailer for the ''Dragon Quest'' Mii Fighter costumes, a metal Mii Fighter wearing a Slime hat can be seen running away from Luminary, referencing the Metal Slime enemy and its tendency to run away. | |||
*In battles representing Slimes—such as the Hero's {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} and spirit battles—they are represented by {{SSBU|Kirby}}, likely due to their similar size and shape. | |||
