There are five new oozes introduced in this supplement.

The dancing death is a CR 8, highly agile, highly aggressive ooze that is prone to splitting if badly injured, and may seek out combat to propagate.

Murder mud is a CR 4 ooze that inhabits wet areas and can petrify people; it needs to eat living creatures, but can only digest rocks and mud. The ooze can petrify its victims to deal with this.

Ocean gel is a CR 16 ocean-dwelling mindless ooze, attacking ships and anything else big enough to provide a meal and are effectively immortal as long as it can eat.

Possession oozes are CR 12 oozes are intelligent and mindful of its own preservation. They are parasites that inhabit other living creatures.

Weekly Wonders – Perilous Oozes in Review

The PDF is bookmarked with major sections linked. Navigation is decent. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of error. There are no illustrations. Presentation could be better.

Oozes and their kin are interesting creatures in that they are nearly mindless – usually – predators that pose varied dangers. These new oozes are interesting, especially as one is intelligent and another has rudimentary intellect, making them less mindless than usual. Weekly Wonders – Perilous Oozes is a good assortment of new monsters and it can be found by clicking here.
