Slime (Dragon Quest)

Slime is a species, as well as a character, from the Dragon Quest series of games. Slime made a crossover appearance with Mario and company in Itadaki Street DS. The Slime is the mascot for the Dragon Quest series, as well as a fairly common enemy in the games, much like the Goombas.

In Itadaki Street DS, Slime appears as a playable character. The "Slime Mask", "Slime Suit" and "Slime Maracas" are collectible items that can be equipped on customizable characters. The Heal Slime, a subspecies to the Slimes also appearing in the Dragon Quest series, also appear in the game.

Slime is set to reappear in Mario Sports Mix for the Nintendo Wii as a playable character. It is classified as a Tricky type character, and is the only character not originating from the Mario or Final Fantasy series (not counting the customizable Mii).
