Gray Ooze

Basic Information

Anatomy

It was a thick puddle of gray sludge, roughly 8 inches (20 centimeters) thick, 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) wide, and up to 14 feet (4.3 meters) across, that closely resembled wet stone or an amorphous rock formation.

Genetics and Reproduction

Gray oozes reproduce by breaking small droplets off of them after a meal, which later grew into gray oozes themselves.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Gray oozes are known to be found in cold swamps and marshes, as well as caverns and dungeons. They are mindless scavengers who drag themselves around caves or sewers, while absorbing and digesting whatever they came across. Unlike other oozes, the gray variety can't move on ceilings or walls, hence it is left to slide its way along subterranean floors.

Biological Cycle

These creatures can corrode metal at a rate comparable to that of a black pudding, though its acids can not eat through stone or wood.
