Dragon Warrior monsters cross stitch 29: Metal Slime

Oh yes. The Metal Slime. What a monster!

This guy is subversive. He doesn’t have any more hit points than any of the previous Slimes (4). He doesn’t hit any harder than the previous two Slimes. But he is worth more experience points than any other monster in the game.

Why? You can’t hit this motherfucker. Nearly every single attack made against him will do no damage. To complicate matters, he runs away with astonishing regularity. Critical hits are just about the only way to defeat him.

Playing through Dragon Warrior you encounter a progression of enemies steadily increasing in difficulty. Suddenly the game throws another Slime at you, but he’s difficult in a whole new way. Games in the past had given the player invincible enemies and very powerful enemies, but here’s a wimp of an enemy that is nevertheless challenging.

I just love this little guy to pieces.
