Gelatinous emperors are intelligent, foul oozes found in the court of Jubilex. What purpose and in what capacity they serve the Faceless Lord is anyone's guess. From his Abyssal plane they strike out, devouring anything and everything they run across. They are eternal hunters, always moving and always hungry. When a gelatinous emperor slips into the Material Plane it quickly ravages the area leaving it devoid of all life. Thankfully these creatures are not often found on the Material Plane.

A gelatinous emperor is believed to be a foul mix of gelatinous cube, gray ooze, black pudding, and all other manner of puddings and oozes meshed together by Jubilex, either for some nefarious purpose or for nothing more than his sheer amusement. Sages believe the latter to be the truer of the two theories.

A gelatinous emperor attacks by forming multiple pseudopods from its amorphous body and lashing out at its opponents. If the emperor can maneuver its opponents into a tight group it employs its trample attack, crushing as many of its foes in one move as possible.
