Ooze Elemental
The ooze paraelemental is a creature that appears as a vaguely
humanoid-shaped mass of dark, writhing, noxious sludge that can
squeeze through the smallest cracks and openings.
Vitriolic Form. The body of an ooze paraelemental is so acidic
that it easily corrodes any nonmagical metal it touches. While
it does not require food or sustenance, the ooze paraelemental
cannot resist itself from dissolving organic and mineral matter, an
act which it greatly enjoys and savors.
Swamp Dweller. The ooze paraelemental is native to the Swamp
of Oblivion, a chaotic place of slime and mud. While it rarely
leaves its home plane, it may be encountered in the Ethereal
Plane, and the foulest bogs, fens, marshes, and sewer systems
of the Material Plane. Ooze paraelementals are slightly more
intelligent than other paraelementals, with some even able
to form and lead groups to gain control of the Swamp of
Oblivion.
Toxic Associates. Ooze paraelementals rarely share
the company of other beings as they tend to eat
anything they can dissolve. However, it has been
observed that they tolerate and cohabitate with
acid-breathing dragons, hags, mud mephits,
oozes, and otyughs. They are subservient to
Ghaunadaur, That Which Lurks, and Juiblex
the Slime Lord and often work with their
followers as guardians.

Ooze Paraelemental Corrode Metal. Any nonmagical weapon made of metal that hits the
paraelemental corrodes. After dealing damage, the weapon takes a
