I have been interested in oozes/slimes as of late. They appear as a monster type in D&D, Path/Starfinder, 13th Age, Draw Steel (in the starter adventure and Patreon bonus content), and Daggerheart, among other games.

Exotic and high-level ooze monsters include living spells in D&D; teratomorphs in D&D 3.0; astral renders in D&D 4e; blobs of annihilation in D&D 5e; mezlans, immortal ichors, and blights in Pathfinder; riftcreepers and oblivions in Pathfinder 1e; living apocalypses and cerebrexes in Starfinder 1e; and gray goos and plasma oozes in Path/Starfinder 1e. Shoggoths could count as oozes, and they appear as such in Pathfinder 1e.

Named ooze antagonists include Juiblex, Ghaunadaur, and Turaglas in D&D; the daelkyr Kyrzin in Eberron; the Voidharrow in D&D 4e; and Vorgozen and the suspiciously named Jubilex in Pathfinder 1e.

There are ooze-themed PC options every now and then, such as the oozemaster and slime lord prestige classes in D&D 3.X, the ooze master theme in D&D 4e, the plasmoid species in D&D 5e, the alchemist (oozemaster) and shifter (oozemorph) archetypes in Pathfinder 1e, the Oozemorph archetype in Pathfinder 2e, and the entu colony and selamid races in Starfinder 1e. I observed that an ooze race was popular in third-party Pathfinder 1e material, such as Alluria Publishing's squole and Dreamscarred Press's atstreidi and coreid; I once played alongside someone playing a coreid psionicist at 17th level.

The only dedicated ooze-themed adventure I know of is The Slithering in Pathfinder 2e. I believe it was poorly received, as its mechanics were questionable and frustrating: particularly the focus on oozes and incorporeals, whose precision damage immunity is unfun for several classes.

While it is common to see demons, devils, dragons, or undead as campaign-wide enemies, it is much rarer to see oozes in such a role. Perhaps intelligent oozes could be portrayed similarly to the Klyntar?

What are your favorite portrayals of oozes in tabletop RPGs?

I like oozes/slimes, I think they're a basic, core type of foe for fantasy adventures. I've only used one once, in the first campaign I ran, and all 4 of my players said they'd never encountered a gelatinous cube before. Or a mimic, so maybe I just need to run all the classics at them. I'm currently running an exploration/treasure hunting campaign so I wanna put some oozes in a dungeon they explore. Maybe a lever will have them start pouring out of holes in a wall and the gang will have to flee.

I've been looking for Draw Steel information and want to discuss the game. But your faggy ass blog spam threads have turned me off the game so much that I don't even want to play it anymore. And I have the opportunity to play in person even.

Please stop making threads. You are not here to engage in discussion. You just want to blog like a faggot.

I have a passing slime interest.
My fascinating with them begins and ends with, "this is a neat little fantasy detritivore." I'm tickled by the idea that a magical biome has such a higher energy account that it needs to have quite large and visibly motile slimes, mushrooms, and other shit-eating things, that crawl or slither about in order to convert energy/matter and keep the biosphere moving. An Otyugh or a Gelatinous Cube is a horrifying disgusting monster out of context, but within the confines of its' natural environment it's a rather fat, innocous, slug-like, plodding, creature that allows the fantasy forest/landscape to exist.
I like that for what it's worth.

I once let a player play as an Elder Ooblex in a 5E "Monsters as PCs" game. Other PCs were a Revenant Paladin, Oni Barbarian, and Arch Lich Theurgy Wizard.
Unfortunately, he was retarded, and kept getting beaten to a pulp because he didn't know how to use any of his spells or special abilities.
He eventually decided to play an Aarakocra Monk instead and did a lot better by just punching everything.

Why did you make this thread, Edna? What's the end game?

I never found mechanics that make ooze characters feel special without breaking how the game works, they are too different from humanoids to work in tandem with them under the same rules.

I played an ooze pc (a slimegirl OBVIOUSLY) in a PF1e game some time ago (Shaman, fluffed her spells as cummuning with microbes. Tummy ache hexes.)
Very creativity-rewarding race to play. Extreme contorting/shapeshifting ability and RP is really fun but you definitely need to be able to step out of human perception. I spent a lot of time thinking how an ooze views the world. For example I begun thinking of keyholes, crevices, etc small holes more like 'a room that I can't entirely fit inside' and would stick a piece inside and declare to the GM "I am inside X, what is around me?" rather than "What can I feel inside X".

Since I played shaman, the whole question of does a creature that procreates by mitosis have a soul came up. Our GM's take was that they all share a single soul, just a really gooey, stretchy one. Also it's icky as hell. So no splitting for infinity demon sacrifices.

Also while it's a fetish race, I would argue that it gets a pass. They're much less on the nose than most other monster girls (often even in the porn) and a natural choice for people of taste.

I've been thinking about oozes and slimes too but not the conventional gelatinous ooze, more organic like sap/syrup monsters. Thinking about Wax creatures too, a "liquid" and solid form.

true. adorable, soft, can be quite helpful and also quite spicy.
