Description
These purple-blackish oozes are generally found in natural caves, where they stick to the ceiling and wait until unsuspecting prey passes by. The cave lurk has a nasty habit of dropping on top of its prey and attempting to dissolve it with its acidic body. Their dark coloration makes them difficult to perceive in darkness, to the advantage of the ooze, which has evolved to be naturally stealthy.
