Amorphous blobs with a translucent ochre hue, these gelatinous creatures lurk in damp caves and shadowy grottos. Capable of squeezing through tiny cracks, the Jelly, Ochre engulfs and dissolves anything organic with relentless precision. Its body is interspersed with particles of luminous minerals, causing it to glow faintly in the dark gloom of its habitat.
Motive: To absorb organic materials and grow in size
Environment: Damp, dark underground locations such as caves and abandoned mines (Underground)
Health: 9
Damage: 3 points
Armor: 2
Movement: Immediate
Modifications: Stealth as level 5 due to being nearly invisible when still; attacks as level 5 because its acidic nature is hard todefend against
Combat: The ochre jelly can envelop creatures up to its own size, immobilizing and beginning to digest them. An enveloped victim must make an immediate Might defense roll each round to break free or take 5 points of acidic damage. The difficulty of this task is increased by one step due to the slick, adhesive nature of the jelly's membrane.
Interactions: The Jelly, Ochre is mindless and only driven by instinctual need to feed and expand. Attempts to communicate or negotiate with it are futile.
Uses: A group of miners accidentally unearths an ancient cavern, unknowingly releasing hungry Jellies into their mine shafts.
Loot: Victims might find partially digested gear within a defeated jelly—an odd treasure trove encased in semi-solid goo.
GM Intrusion: As a player attacks, they slip and their weapon is stuck, beginning to dissolve in the ochre jelly's exterior. Recovering it requires a Might-based task.
