So, I'm planning an encounter in a dark sewer for my party, using oozes - I like the globster, but there is no alternate sense in the perception stat block for the monster - is the Globster supposed to be dependent on vision as it's primary sense?
would just like a little confirmation - most other oozes have motion sense or something similar
Yes, it's dependent on sight. Given its normal environment on the coast, that's all it needs, though I'm surprised it doesn't have low-light vision for navigating the seafloor.
Yet there's nothing about that stopping you from making a "Sewer Globster" that has Darkvision. Even 40+ years ago designers were doing similar things with animals, giving them Infravision or other senses so they could be featured in dungeons.
And you could give it motion sense too if that suits your narrative needs.
You should feel zero compunctions about making these alterations, even if submitting the variant for a more rigorous PFS scenario.

Ah, the days of infravision and ultravision.
thanks for the quick reply - I mostly ask because the image doesn't have any apparent eyes, nor does the description of it...seemed more like it might have been an...oversight (hehe) - you're right of course, I can make whatever adjustments are necessary - just seemed odd to me
thanks again!
You don't need eyes to "see", just look at almost every plant creature.
Yep. It'd pathfinder. Dragon's wings wouldn't logically be able to let them fly nor would a kaiju be able to support it's own body weight but somehow it does. Some things just work and it's best to not look behind the curtain. ;)
