A black pudding resefllbles a heaving mound of sticky
       black sludge. In dim passageways, the pudding appears
       to be little more than a blot of shadow.
         Flesh, wood, metal, and bone dissolve when the
       pudding ebbs over them. Stone remains behind,
       wiped clean.
       GELATINOUS  CUBE
       Gelatinous cubes scour dungeon passages in silent,
       predictable patterns, leaving perfectly clean paths in
       their wake. They consume living tissue while leaving
       bones and other materials undissolved.
         A gelatinous cube is all but transparent, making
       it hard to spot until it attacks. A cube that is well
       fei:l  can be easier to spot, since its victims' bones,
       coins, and other 9bjects can be seen suspended
       inside the creature.              ·

       GRAY OozE
       A gray ooze is stone turned to liquid by
       chaos. When it moves, it slithers
       like a liquid snake, fising to strike.
       OCHRE JELLY
       Ochre jellies are yellowish blobs that can
       slide under doors and through narrow
       cracks in pursuit of creatures to devour.
       They have enough.bestial cunning to
       avoid large groups of enemies.
         An ochre jelly follows at a safe distance
       as it pursues its meal. Its digestive enzymes
       dissolve flesh quickly but have no effect on other
       substances such as bone, wood, and metal.
