Gray Ooze
Creature 4 — mindless, ooze
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
SnareLANDVERTICALoozemindlessacid
These dangerous oozes are the bane of any who travel through swamps, marshes, or damp caves. Easily masquerading as pools of clear water or patches of wet stone, gray oozes lie in wait for unwary victims to reach down for a drink or step into what appears to be a puddle, then lash out with whiplike pseudopods to ensnare and consume their hapless prey.

WORKS WELL WITH
CrasherLAND / VERTICALOnce this ambusher grabs and pins a target, a heavy melee striker can commit fully to that fixed target without worrying about it disengaging.
SniperLAND / VERTICALA ranged partner can fire freely at a target held in this creature's grasp, since the pinned target has little ability to close distance or take cover.
PUNISHES
✖ standing still✖ isolated positioning✖ low Perception
