Dragon Quest 'slime' characters inspired by Wizardry
“I was really hooked on ‘Wizardy,’ the PC game, and that’s kind of where I got the inspiration for the Slime. There’s…slime-looking characters [in ‘Wizardry’], so I got the inspiration from it. I was doodling the slime-looking character and I took it to Mr. Toriyama, who did the character design, and he made it the Slime we see today.” - Yuji Horii, Dragon Quest co-creator
Well, now we know where the iconic character comes from. I wonder how the brains behind Wizardry will feel about this!
