Ooze para-elemental

Ooze para-elementals, also known as mud elementals, were a variety of para-elemental composed of ooze.

Description
These types of para-elementals had mutable forms that appeared as dark, liquid masses of writhing tendrils. They most often took on a form with a torso, arms, and a head with gaping black indentations where a mouth and eyes would be. And according to some their bodies could be highly acidic, rapidly dissolving most organic material and metal.

Personality
Like all para-elementals they were wary, cautious, and even unfriendly to outsiders in their home plane.

Abilities
Possessing mutable forms, ooze para-elementals were capable of shifting their way through the smallest and tightest of crevices. They were also capable of imitating the passwall spell and possessed a minor resistance to elemental earth and elemental water based spells, though some claimed it was an immunity. And some claimed that the spell transmute mud to rock could petrify them. When it came to weapons, they generally could only be harmed by those with a +1 or greater enchantment.

Combat
Ooze para-elementals typically fought by grappling and constricting opponents with their multitude of tendrils.

Diet
Like other para-elementals, those of ooze sustained themselves by converting their elemental opposite, earth, into ooze. However, if they found themselves deprived of this, they would not starve to death.

Homelands
This variety of para-elemental was native to the Para-Elemental Plane of Ooze, and rarely willingly strayed far from it, Though they could also be found in the elemental planes of Earth and Water. And on rare occasions, one to two ooze para-elementals could be encountered in the Ethereal Plane.

On the Prime Material plane, they were often encountered in the River Ith.

Languages
Ooze para-elementals were capable of speaking both Aquan and Terran, but it always came out in a burbling tone.

Relationships
They held an enmity towards both ooze mephits and ooze sprites, with the former often being known to claim dominion over ooze para-elementals, often killing them on sight.

Rumors & Legends
Some claimed that ooze elementals found themselves to be revolting.
