Oozes

Oozes thrive in the dark, shunning areas of bright light and
extreme temperatures. They flow through the damp underground,
feeding on any creature or object that can be dissolved, slinking
along the ground, dripping from walls and ceilings, spreading
across the edges of underground pools, and squeezing through
cracks. The first warning an adventurer receives of an ooze's
presence is often the searing pain of its acidic touch.
Ooze Nature. An ooze doesn't require sleep.
Blood Ooze

A blood ooze resembles a giant, sticky clot of blood, with a deep
crimson color. They lay in wait on the ceilings of dark caves and
deep caverns, waiting for their prey. Once they spot a creature
below them, they drop down and devour them, feasting on their
blood to increase their size
Blood oozes are created when a large amount of blood is
tampered with by chaotic magic, in much the same way a grey
ooze is created out of stone. These beings then constantly search
for more blood to add to their body.
Necrotic Slime

Necrotic slimes are the most powerful and feared among the
oozes. These slimes take the form of huge black blobs, larger than
any other ooze and capable of consuming creatures the size of
giants. They bubble with a necrotic energy that reanimates those
that it consumes, creating undead servants that help it by bringing
prey for it to feast on. A creature that is engulfed by a necrotic
slime is slowly eaten down to the bone, leaving behind a perfectly
clean and intact skeleton.
Significantly more intelligent than their brethren, necrotic
slimes are capable of strategic thought and know when they are
outmatched. If a necrotic ooze detect the presence of a creature or
group of creatures powerful enough to defeat it, it has enough
intelligence to hide effectively and escape into the underground.
A necrotic slime can also command its servants intelligently, and
uses them for scouting and for diversions.
