No one knows if the puddle of dark slime we call a devouring ooze has sentient thought; all that is known is that they have a ravenous hunger that seems insatiable.
A devouring ooze is a creature that lives in decay and filth, feeding on organic matter as it decays. A devouring ooze will attack unsuspecting living creatures that wander too close. It lies in wait, looking like no more than a puddle, before it strikes out with sticky appendages, ensnaring its victim. An acidic ooze engulfs its food and slowly digests it. Once engulfed, small stingers inside the creature keep the prey immobilized if alive.
