Heh, my luck in DQ5 is crazy.

I keep getting lucky in this game. When I first got it a few weeks back, I got a metal slime to join me, and recently I ended up getting the first Golem I've encountered to join me as well. =O

Both are casually rare to join, mainly the Metal Slime. The Golem's a bit more common but still harder than the usual monster recruitables.
