The Blood Ooze is a gruesome and malevolent ooze that thrives on the life force of its victims. Its gelatinous form appears as a pulsating mass of crimson, with veins and arteries visible just beneath its surface. It leaves a trail of sticky, blood-soaked residue wherever it slithers.
Behavior: The blood ooze is relentless in its pursuit of prey. It seeks out wounded creatures, drawn to their weakened life force. When it encounters a victim, it engulfs them, dissolving their flesh and absorbing their essence. The absorbed creature becomes part of the ooze, its memories and consciousness lost forever.
Combat:
- The blood ooze lashes out with its pseudopod, slashing at foes that come too close.
- When it successfully grapples a creature, it drains their blood, dealing both piercing and slashing damage.
- Its ability to climb walls and ceilings allows it to ambush unsuspecting prey.
- The ooze can sense injured creatures nearby, making it a formidable predator.
Lair: Blood oozes are often found in dark, damp places—caves, crypts, and abandoned dungeons. Their lairs reek of iron and decay, and the walls bear the stains of countless absorbed victims.
Treasure: The blood ooze hoards the remnants of its victims—shredded armor, rusted weapons, and the occasional gemstone swallowed by its previous meals.
