Gluttonous Ooze Giants
The gluttonous ooze giant is a bulbous sentient slime what is driven by the sole desire to feed. These oozes are rather large for their kind, standing nearly 20ft. tall. There is not definite form these ooze giants take as it is entirely dependent on the situation. In fact, it is believed that the ooze giant changes its form in a way that makes engulfing new prey with maximum efficiency. For example, if the ooze giant is pursing prey in a tunnel, it will assume a spherical shape. However, if surrounded by multiple opponents, it will resemble a writhing bipedal mass of writhing pseudopods that are nearly impossible to avoid.
Adhesive Ectoplasm
The gluttonous ooze giant shares many similar hunting tactics to oozes such as the gelatinous cube as its primary method of attack is to run into its enemies, absorbing them into its form. However, the ooze giant has several advantages over its cubic kin. In addition to its primitive intelligence, the ooze giant's ectoplasm is coated with extremely adhesive enzymes that lock any creature into ooze giant’s ectoplasm, allowing it to quickly engulf them within its form without having to worry about its prey running off. This adhesive is designed not only to trap a creature but to also prevent its escape. Additionally, if another creature attempts to free its prey, it places itself at risk to become attached to the ooze's form as well.
Barreling Gluttons
Because of their adhesive body, the ooze giant's favorite tactic is to literally run over its prey. By nature, ooze giants are relatively lazy hunters and only do not want to engage in a prolonged chase. After all, why engage in a prolonged chase when all the ooze giant needs to do is to touch its prey once. Once adhered to its prey, it can take its time to engulf its victim as it is very unlikely for its prey to be able to break free from its bonds. However, the ooze giant does have countermeasures against prey that manages to escape or outrun it as it has the ability to fire enormous blobs of slime that immediately tethers any creature unfortunate to find itself in range.
