Amorphous. The ooze can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Corrode Metal. Any nonmagical weapon made of metal that hits the ooze corrodes. After dealing damage, the weapon takes a permanent and cumulative −1 penalty to damage rolls. If its penalty drops to −5, the weapon is destroyed. Nonmagical ammunition made of metal that hits the ooze is destroyed after dealing damage.
The ooze can eat through 2-inch-thick, nonmagical metal in 1 round.
False Appearance. While the ooze remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an oily pool or wet rock.
Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) bludgeoning damage plus 7 (2d6) acid damage, and if the target is wearing nonmagical metal armor, its armor is partly corroded and takes a permanent and cumulative −1 penalty to the AC it offers. The armor is destroyed if the penalty reduces its AC to 10.
That could be it. It could also be they have expertise in Stealth. Even if expertise is not an option, it doesn't really matter as long as the characters get an appropriate amount of experience points. Besides, the calculation is based on humanoids and a Gray Ooze is not humanoid.
What happens when someone touches the ooze
one question, how do you figure out initiative bonus for monsters?
Can my players make a amour out of it?
Very, very late, but I hope this helps or that someone else has helped you before now, but just so it is out there you use their Dexterity modifier, and add any outside additions like the Alert feat if you would give it to them and otherwise.

Can I merge with it like a Symbiote?
I would say yes as the "gray" eats metal, but I would say it would be hard to get it in there
The only way it would be able to escape is by dissolving the glass, which I’m pretty sure it can’t do.
I mean, it eats everything it makes contact with and it’s really dumb so good luck trying to ride it without dying
This thing is really similar to plasmodial slime molds in the real world, although those aren’t usually carnivorous
It eats them
I mean it’s so dumb it might not ever think of that
Does anyone have a good idea of what level party could be challenged by an ooze but not utterly destroyed?
I'm substituting as a DM for a group of level 6 and 7th levels. It's my first time and I have no idea what I'm doing.
