Episode 144 Streamed Live Tuesday June 20, 2023
Main Topic: Monster Mash #14 - Slimes, Oozes, etc.
Over the various editions of Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) there have been a
few standard monsters in this category. They are generally
amorphous, unintelligent, slow moving and are more like hazards than
creatures. What makes them creatures is they grow, likely reproduce,
and “attack” by some form of acid. In essence, they try to break
down their victims and absorb them.
These creatures have not organization or culture. Those attacked are done so
opportunistically, not from any type of desire or motivation.
Something lands on or near them and they attempt to digest it.
The standard creatures are: Black Pudding, Gray Ooze, Green
Slime, Ochre Jelly, Yellow Mold, and the Gelatinous Cube. The
gelatinous cube is a little different from the others as they use
pseudopods to attack and can actively move to a target. Later,
Violet Fungi, Shriekers, and Gas Spores were added to this category
as “fungus creatures”. These are a bit more complex, but still
unintelligent.
We discuss:
1) Their differences over the editions
2) Memorable encounters
3) Alternate takes or uses in encounters
