Plot

Spoiler warning: The following information contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk.

In the Super Famicom version, Goowain is one of the names for a recruited Slime Knight. A Slime Knight can be recruited if one of the party is a Rank 2 Monster Master.

In the DS remake, Goowain can be recruited as soon as the magic key is obtained. He is beyond the magic key door in Prince Howard's room. Speak to him and he will ask to join the party.
