Gutter Ooze

These small masses of protoplasm are considered the lesser “cousins” to sewer oozes, emerging from the drainage culverts beneath a city after a rainfall to feed on bits of organic matter that collect in streetside gutters. As they collect just about everything—pebbles, bits of broken glass, and other trash—some cities consider them to be more helpful than detrimental.

Ooze

Source Monster Core pg. 256 1.1
Slimes, molds, and other oozes can be found in dank dungeons and shadowed forests. While not necessarily evil, some grow to enormous sizes and have insatiable appetites.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Oozing Acid

Many oozes have acidic attacks that can quickly degrade flesh, wood, and even stronger materials. Some believe that oozes are the result of alchemical or magical experimentation run amok, while others postulate that they simply emerged from the natural processes of evolution.

Sidebar - Related Creatures Other Oozes

Many varieties of these nearly mindless predators exist throughout the world. Some are mere variants, with different colored puddings, jellies, and oozes having little to differentiate them from those presented here other than their habitats and diets.

Other oozes are more specialized in their role, or are dangerously intelligent. The most storied variety of these deadly and powerful oozes is the thankfully rare blight, a creature composed of protoplasm and eyes that curses entire regions with its presence.
