Ooze

Oozes were mindless, amorphous blobs that mostly dwelt underground.

Abilities
They were essentially blind, but more than made up for that with an ability called blindsight, allowing them to discern nearby objects and creatures without needing to see them. Most oozes secreted an acid from their skin that dissolved flesh and other materials rapidly. They had a unique tendency to resist close-range and melee attacks by dissolving the wielder's weapon slowly.

Varieties
Azure jelly • Black pudding • Blood amniote • Blood elemental • Bloodrot • Blue slime • Bone collector • Gelatinous cube • Gray ooze • Iridescent ooze • Ochre jelly • Shadow slime • Spirit ooze

History
The Demonomicon of Iggwilv was one of the sources that claimed that oozes originated as fragments of the offspring of Juiblex, who was the only known being capable of controlling oozes and of granting them a glimmer of intelligence and tactics.

Sometime in the late 1480s DR numerous oozes of various types were drawn to Blingdenstone under the auspices of the Pudding King.
