Ooze Cube. The cube takes up its entire space. Other creatures can enter the space, but a creature that does so is subjected to the cube's Engulf and has disadvantage on the saving throw.
Creatures inside the cube can be seen but have total cover.
A creature within 5 feet of the cube can take an action to pull a creature or object out of the cube. Doing so requires a successful DC 12 Strength check, and the creature making the attempt takes 10 (3d6) acid damage.
The cube can hold only one Large creature or up to four Medium or smaller creatures inside it at a time.
Transparent. Even when the cube is in plain sight, it takes a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot a cube that has neither moved nor attacked. A creature that tries to enter the cube's space while unaware of the cube is surprised by the cube.
Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) acid damage.
Engulf. The cube moves up to its speed. While doing so, it can enter Large or smaller creatures' spaces. Whenever the cube enters a creature's space, the creature must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw.
On a successful save, the creature can choose to be pushed 5 feet back or to the side of the cube. A creature that chooses not to be pushed suffers the consequences of a failed saving throw.
On a failed save, the cube enters the creature's space, and the creature takes 10 (3d6) acid damage and is engulfed. The engulfed creature can't breathe, is restrained, and takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the cube's turns. When the cube moves, the engulfed creature moves with it.
An engulfed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a DC 12 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the cube.
more difficult to see. I would make the Transparent ability be DC 20
Question: how many much space does the cube take when staying still? Like 4 squares or 8 squares, and how tall is it?
no that is black pudding
Definitely a classic monster.
I would say that it would disperse and make the water acidic, or maybe absorb the water and grow in size?
I like the sound of putting this thing in a pit as a greed trap, thanks for the idea !
resistant to cold and fire weakness on water and melee attacks
ranged attack on gou shot 60 feet 4 d12
That is my custom made version is a draft
what would happen if you ate it?
Read the second to last paragraph.
Totally great to combine with traps. it's pretty easy to run away so trap your characters with pit traps or other ways to stop their escape. Maybe a mimic or another creature that can grapple the characters
:)(:
but if you would have immunity to acid and something to hold your breath for a long time you could stay in there for protection

Technically speaking, a Level 2 party should be able to handle this. Realistically though, they die in 2 rounds, and 84 HP is too much to get through in 2 rounds. I don't know where they got that challenge rating from. A level 3 party might be able to handle it with their subclass bonuses, and they'd get 2 rounds to try to get out, so it is a difficult fight for a lvl 3 party. Level 4 has enough HP to kill it pretty quickly I think. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be low on health afterwards though
Why isn't the cube even resistant to acid?
A classic dungeon trap
Resistence only halves the damage, so it wouldn't be enough on the long run. It increases your chances on survival, but not immunity - and do not forget, that it destroy anything, what you wear too, except if the material immune to acid by itself (like glasses)!
Why is it that players can grapple this ooze? Making it essentially useless? Hope oned&d updates this it should be immune
my dads mini of this allows mini-figs to be put in-side of the cube.
