Description
A Caustic Ooze is a rare kind of ooze that resides in dank sewers, dreary swamps, and other places of decay and unhappiness. Caustic Oozes possess a modicum of intelligence, and though they can speak, they rarely choose to. Caustic Oozes get their name from the caustic that coats them. They use this to burn through flesh. Oftentimes, a Caustic Ooze's lair has armor, weapons, and coin from its previous victims scattered about, as the ooze cannot digest these things. Caustic Oozes like to ambush their prey, and takes a satisfaction in watching a creature's death throes. Caustic Oozes are territorial, and usually will kill any trespassers. Caustic Oozes can be bribed into defending important places, usually with the promise of meals, but some who intend to bribe the ooze end up being its meal after the steady food supply of adventurers fades out. Caustic Oozes have no eyes, and rely on blindsight and tremorsense to find prey.
