* The first episode of Anime/HyperdimensionNeptuniaTheAnimation has Neptune and Nepgear get overwhelmed by a horde of Dogoos, who playfully initiate TickleTorture to them without doing any actual damage, though the end result of the two covered in slime looked very... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything suggestive]]. They're generally portrayed as playful, but only become a nuisance in large numbers.

* The Slimes in ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' are the TropeMaker. First conceptualized in the first installments of the game in the TheEighties, they became popular enough to become the MascotMook of the series, and many examples on this page take direct inspiration from their cute blue forms.

[[caption-width-right:350:Some slimes draw near! Clockwise starting from top left: [[VideoGame/DragonQuest Slime]], [[VideoGame/{{Neptunia}} Dogoo]], [[VideoGame/{{Atelier}} Puni]], and [[VideoGame/RagnarokOnline Poring]]]]
''VideoGame/DragonQuestI'' was one of the most influential video games of its time, and is partly responsible for forming the EasternRPG as we know it. But one rather minor monster made a peculiar mark on gaming: The Slime.
While the BlobMonster was a staple of tabletop RPGs before Dragon Quest, [[Creator/AkiraToriyama Akira Toriyama's]] addition of an adorable smiley face made a particularly strong impression. The slime ended up becoming a MascotMook for the franchise, and naturally, like many of the tropes ''Dragon Quest'' introduced, a cute, low level blob became an Eastern RPG cliche in itself.
The Cute Slime Mook is almost always a [[TheGoomba common, weak, low-level]] {{mook}}, but like the ones in Dragon Quest, may come in stronger or gimmicky variants. Common variants of slimes include different colors, [[MetalSlime slimes that are harder to defeat but offer greater rewards]], or even expies of the Heal Slime. Like their inspiration, they usually have cute, smiling faces, or at the very least, BlackBeadEyes. These slime-lookalikes are often [[MascotMook mascot mooks]] for their respective series in themselves.

* Rimiru from ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' is roughly the size of a watermelon, and is adored for his super cute slime form. He ends up making quite a lot of allies, especially [[{{Fanservice}} women who enjoy holding him close to their breasts]], by making friends through diplomacy. His "Predator" ability also proves to be extremely powerful, allowing him to take on the magical properties of anyone and anything he absorbs. Knowing how to use this to bring peace and to resolve conflicts is the main goal of the series.
* ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'': Comically {{subverted}} with Hans the Deadly Poison Slime. Having seen only his human disguise, [[WrongGenreSavvy Kazuma assumes that]] he's the ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' kind of slime and will thus be a pushover, but he turns out to be closer to the ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' mold - a giant, nigh-indestructible BlobMonster that [[WalkingWasteland spreads decay in its path]] and destroys anything it touches.

* Baby I or [[DubNameChange Fresh]] level Franchise/{{Digimon}} are often blobs with simple, cutesy faces. They are very weak and have almost no combat abilities, but will eventually evolve into stronger Digimon.

* The Slimes in ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' are the TropeMaker.
* The Punis in ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'', which have prominent BlushStickers and come in a variety of different colors. There are also faux punis and even pint-sized mini punis which appear to have pacifiers in their mouths. They were curiously absent from the Dusk trilogy, but made a return in the Mysterious trilogy with a new, taller shape.
* The Dogoos in ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' are a much more direct parody, [[ReferenceOverdosed given the nature of the games]]. Much like the original Dragon Quest slimes, they come in metal and even jellyfish-like heal variants. The difference? They have adorable puppy dog ears and snouts.
* The titular Puyo of ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' played the typical RPG slime role in the original ''Madou Monogatari'' games, but became a core gameplay element [[GenreShift when the series became a puzzle game]]. There are many different types of Puyo with different effects, but the basic idea is to stack and match colored puyos while sending garbage puyo to hinder your opponents.
* ''VideoGame/{{Elona}}'' has the Putits, cute white blobs with two beady black eyes. They are one of the weakest monsters in the game, and also come in a slightly stronger red variant. Eating their flesh grants charisma, and they are also [[ExplosiveBreeder explosive breeders]], so they're a popular choice for ranches. Interestingly, Putits exist alongside more traditional western faceless blob monsters.
* ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' has the Porings, a weak MascotMook which are pink and have catlike mouths along with bubbles coming out of its... head?
* ''VideoGame/MapleStory'' has its own slimes that are green, have starry eyes, catlike mouths, and long antennae.
* ''VideoGame/SlimeRancher'' is all about raising a variety of cute, smiling slimes.
* Jells resemble a humanoid blob monster in most ''VideoGame/MonsterRancher'' games, but were given a cuter makeover in ''Monster Rancher 3'' with a more gumdrop-shaped body and black, beady eyes. According to the in-game lore, this is actually the monster's original form, but became more humanoid over the years after being exposed to humans, as ''3'' is a {{prequel}} to the other games.
* Slime from ''VisualNovel/DotKareshi'' is one of [[ReferenceOverdosed many shoutouts]] to ''Dragon Quest'' and Eastern RPGs in general, although this being an otome game, he takes the form of [[SlimeGirl a cute human boy]].
* Goopy Le Grande, one of the first bosses of ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' has a design that directly references the Slimes - he's a blue ball with a pointy tip and a smiling face. He's also relatively easy, being one of the game's Starter Villains.
* One of the many JRPG parodies in the Penultimate Fantasy Airship in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'', the Irritating Series of Random Encounters enemy appears as a large group of what appear to be exact copies of the slimes from ''Dragon Quest''.
* Gooey from ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' highly resembles Akira Toriyama's slimes, right down to the googly eyes and red smiley face, but with the addition of a long tongue.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' has multiple BlobMonster {{mons}}, but Ditto most closely resembles the ones in ''Dragon Quest''. A VoluntaryShapeshifter, it's shown in [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} the anime]] and TheMerch that it always keeps its beady eyes and goofy smile no matter what it transforms into.
* The protagonist of the action platformer ''Slime-San'' is one of these, and even leaves trails of goo wherever he goes.
* The Jellies, the slime equivalent in ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' are mostly pretty cute, being small and rather weak enemies. They tend to either have smilng mouths or eyes, but usually not both.
* Chuchus in ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' are usually ugly blob monsters, but they were given a somewhat cuter makeover for ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''. They come in many different colors, some with different abilities.
* ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'' features Slimes like virtually all games by Creator/ArtixEntertainment. However unlike its sister games the, the chibi artstyle makes the AQW slimes noticeably cuter, being a blob with a cute cartoony eyeball looking out.
* ''VideoGame/PuzzleAndDragons'' has low level and adorable slime monsters for each element that can also evolve into bigger forms while retaining their cuteness.
