The '''Metal slime''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|original game]], it is the forefather of the [[Metal slime family]] and set the standard for every member therein.
The '''Metal slime''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|original game]], it is the forefather of the [[Metal slime family]] and set the standard for every member therein, dropping a large amount of experience if it can be defeated.

As far as appearances go, the Metal slime is nearly identical to a normal [[Slime]], with its only notable differences being its gray coloring and metallic luster.
As far as appearances go, the Metal slime is nearly identical to a normal [[Slime]], with its only notable differences being its silver-gray colouring and metallic luster.


Metal slimes are infamous {{MFamilies}}s in the series and for a good reason: they have one of the highest {{exp}}erience point payouts of any enemy in the games, exceeded only by far stronger monsters and other metal monsters; even some bosses pay out less than a single Metal slime does. This comes at a catch, however: Metal slimes rarely appear, and when they do, they usually run away at the first chance, often without a scratch due to a very high {{Agility}} stat. Even if the player gets lucky and a [[Metal slime]] or two decide to stick around for a turn, nearly all normal attacks will either miss or do a measly 1 point of damage, though their low {{HP}} means every hit counts. Nearly all forms of spell and skill are completely ineffective against Metal slimes.

Anti-metal weapons such as the [[Metal slime spear]] will always deal damage to a Metal slime, and the [[Poison needle]] has a 12.5%({{fraction|1|8}}) chance to kill instantly if it connects, as well as the [[Hela's hammer]]'s 37.5%({{fraction|3|8}}) are popular among players who enjoy gambling on mashing the globs in one shot.

Metal slimes make their first appearance as the greatest source of experience from any {{MFamilies}}. The player may start dealing normal damage to Metal slimes as they near the Level 30 cap. Due to the fact that true spell immunity does not exist in the original {{NES}} version of {{I}}, [[Sizz]] and [[Sizzle]] have a higher chance (1/16) to slay the slimes than critical hits (1/64).

The remakes allow for the [[Metal slime (Recruit)|recruiting of Metal slimes]], though the chances of one wanting to join the {{Party 5}} are abysmally low, combining with their rarity and difficulty in defeating to make them one of most difficult monsters to recruit in the game. Their plethora of resistances and Metal slime stats can make them worth the effort, though they are not nearly as versatile as [[Liquid metal slime (Recruit)|Liquid metal slimes]].

Metal slimes appeared from the beginning of the game, dropping 1,206 experience when defeated. In order to discourage players from leveling too quickly, metal slimes would not appear on the field, only accompanying other monsters. They are highly impervious to all forms of harm, can cast [[Frizz]] on opponents and naturally, have a high chance of fleeing from battle.
 
Starting with Version 1.1, an item known as the Metal ticket would cause a metal slime to appear when used as a tool in battle. Version 1.2 also introduced the Metal slime coin, which would allow players to encounter metal slimes when used in the Magic Labyrinth.

Metal slimes may first appear on [[Celeste Isle]], where the [[Hunter mech]]s hint to their residence on the island. They can also show up on [[Fert Isle]]. However, "yellow-bellies" will not appear on the overworld in any of these instances. The Metal menagerie on [[Palaish Isle]] is the only place where Metal slimes can be seen before engaging in a battle, though this area cannot be accessed until after the player solidifies his or her position in the finals of the tournament.

Given their resilience, Metal slimes are one of the most difficult {{MFamilies}}s to scout, though not nearly as much as the stronger metal {{MFamilies}}s the player can run into. In the early parts of the game, a [[Critical Hit]] during the scouting process is one of the most reliable ways to scout one, though a great deal of luck is still needed.
