The Happy Metagamer’s Ode to the Ooze
----------------------------------------------------
. . . And so I said to the other player, "Big mistake, the black pudding is immune to electricity."
I think you mean the grey pudding.
No, that’s grey ooze.
Wrong again, the gray ooze is immune to cold.
I thought the gray ooze was immune to acid?
No, but it does damage with acid.
I’m pretty sure you're thinking of the ochre jelly.
You mean purple jelly.
That too, but also the ochre.
Ogre? Let’s just stick with oozes - this is getting hard enough to keep track of.
That’s what I’m. . . (sigh) Never mind. Listen, this is important, if you use electricity on the jelly it splits into two.
No, you’re way off. That’s the brown mold.
Brown mold?! That's been down graded to a DMG entry, it's not even a monster anymore.
You’re confused, you’ve mixed it up, I suspect, with the yellow mold.
Look, this is no time for the shortcomings of your personal hygiene. You need to have this straight for next session. We can’t afford another fiasco like last time. Let me take it from the top: we know the green slime is vulnerable to fire -
And sunlight.
I hardly think dishwashing detergent is a solution for -
No! As in natural light. Look, if we're including DMG ecology entries then, what I want to know is how do we classify the phosphorescent fungus?
That’s phantom fungus. That’s back in the Monster Manual, which is where we came in, finally. And the very first Ooze entry in the Monster Manual is the Black Pudding, which, as I was saying, is immune to electricity.
I think you mean grey pudding.
No, that's grey. . . Arghghg!
