Many slimes rear their gelatinous heads in anime. Normally weak, these slimes are not to be messed with.
Highlights
- Not all anime slimes are weak – some like Suu, Melona, and Solution Epsilon are incredibly powerful and unique in their abilities.
- Slime characters can absorb liquids, change forms, use poison, and even mimic others, making them formidable enemies or allies in anime.
- Despite their small and innocent appearance, slimes like Hans and Rimuru Tempest can be lethal and powerful opponents capable of causing havoc and destruction.
In many fantasy anime, slimes are often some of the weakest enemies that the heroes can fight while on their adventure. It’s a convention that has existed ever since games like Dragon Quest popularized it, and with so many fantasy anime taking cues from fantasy JRPGs, it’s fairly common for slimes to be weak there, too.

Despite coming from a relatively peaceful romantic comedy series, Suu is an incredibly powerful slime girl representing a host of the monster’s unique abilities. With her body made entirely of liquid, Suu can stick to a variety of surfaces and morph her body into whatever she likes.
Her most notable strength lies in her ability to absorb liquids into her body, which gives her the ability to increase her size depending on how much water she’s absorbed. She can also absorb poisons and diseases of all kinds without being affected by them, though it can affect her disposition. Certain chemicals can even cause Suu to become gigantic, such as when she absorbed some experimental fertilizer.

A Seductive Shapeshifter Using Her Body To Her Advantage
Melona is a slime and a servant of the Swamp Witch, the overarching antagonist of the Queen’s Blade franchise.

Attack on Titan’s Shifter Titans may be enormous, but these creatures from other shows dwarf them in size.
Hans’ abilities are largely poison-based, due to having a body composed of deadly poisons. Because of that, he is difficult to damage due to most objects dissolving on contact, and being absorbed by his body is instant death. When not in slime form, Hans can also transform into the image of someone he has eaten. Despite being a slime, Hans is easily one of the most formidable enemies Kazuma and his party encounter while on their various adventures.

Smiley is the pet of Caesar Clown, a collection of poisonous gases given life by the Sala-Sala Fruit (Axolotl Model). Smiley was kept locked up until Caesar decided to use it to fight against the Straw Hats who were causing havoc in his laboratory.
Having originally been a collection of poisonous gas, Smiley does not have much of a mind. It moves around erratically, only following orders from Caesar Clown. However, it is so massive and its poisons are so deadly that even just walking caused plenty of death and destruction all over Punk Hazard alone. It continued to cause problems even after its death, as the gases left behind were converted into a more potent poison thanks to the candy Caesar had it eat.

Satoru Mikami was once an ordinary salaryman in Japan, but his reincarnation into a new world found him in the form of a slime. Taking the name Rimuru Tempest, he began exploring the world while slowly making use of the abilities given to him when he arrived.
Many of Rimuru’s abilities originate from his unique skill Predator, which allows him to absorb, analyze, and mimic or recreate whatever he eats with his slime body. While the power itself is not related to his slime physiology, his status as a slime certainly does help him make use of the ability well by being able to absorb objects easily. Through this power, Rimuru has become a mighty Demon Lord on par with some of the most powerful beings in the Central World, making him truly mighty despite being a small slime.
