Precocious and pernicious ooze-things that slowly seep through ceilings as they patiently, quietly observe everything around them. These things will only attack in self-defense. They prefer to simply watch, that they might learn another new spell. Any given specimen knows 1d4 random First Level Spells (possibly including one or more from Space Age Sorcery). There are rumors of more powerful versions of these creatures in the deeper regions of notorious dungeons...
That learning ability is powerful enough that it easy to imagine these being bred or adapted for higher level spells as well, and infesting magic-using regions.
ReplyDeleteThese things are a real hazard in areas where the Ymid have set-up shop...and the higher-HD versions can sometimes be pretty nasty, even if they tend to be one hit wonders who have one nasty spell to cast before getting smacked into so much gristle and gore...
