The elder black ooze can stay a long time without eating. These can even store large amounts of meat in your body, dissolving them regularly to obtain their nutrients, a human body can be retained for up to a week.
The life of Elder Black Ooze is hard. Normally they are hunted and exploited by more intelligent beings for the creation of multiple poxes, because the acid that is released from their bodies is very useful as material for bombs or traps. These Ooze do not consider humans, nor any variant of them as a real threat, but are aware that a large number could lead to an overwhelming defeat.
Slimy, Slippery, Sticky.

Lords of the Ooze
They consider themselves to be the most superior creatures among the ooze race, with an intellect superior to that of their relatives, as human. They do not usually coexist with any race other than their own.
Elder black ooze often forgive ooze to bow to their majesty, as long as it is not going through a famine streak.
Despite being considered superior beings to their primitive relatives, they fail to recognize or understand the hierarchies of races alien to their own, so for them it is equal a human king and villager.
