Description
The Bloated Brine is an ooze that can commonly be found under the hulls of ships, or in the depths of deep-sea caves. These oozes at times will be used by hags for disposing of their unneeded victim's corpses after they are done with them. These oozes are known for stealth the essence and life of creatures that try to kill them or invade their domains. however, these ooze's prefer the coastal and sea life in which they hide and await those who might survive shipwrecks to become their next meal, and a faithful undead servant in which it can use to persevere itself. Sometimes these ooze's might also find themselves in the sewers of larger towns and coastal regions. These oozes are usually ambushers they enjoy the prospect of lying in wait for a curious creature to touch one of their previous victims in which they then will spring their trap with a low number of [creature]zombies[/creature] under its command to feast again.
