#Slime

The Dragon Quest Slime is a fictional character and the iconic mascot of the *Dragon Quest* role-playing video game franchise. It was conceived by Yuji Horii and designed by Akira Toriyama, first appearing in the original *Dragon Quest* game in 1986. This character, typically blue and tear-drop shaped with wide eyes and a smiling mouth, is often encountered as a weak enemy but also appears as a friendly ally or even the protagonist in spin-off titles.
