4
5	A broad category of creatures united mostly by being naturally amorphous and lacking specialized body parts, existing as living masses of various substances. Most that aren't masses of protoplasm are liquids or colloids of some sort or another, but gaseous and plasma-based oozes also exist.

57	* AIIsACrapshoot: Due to sloppy programming, the code embedded within an assembly ooze has an unfortunate tendency to become corrupted, causing the ooze to haphazardly deconstruct any nearby tech and use the pieces to build random items. These oozes are the bane of every place where technological devices are present.
58	* GreyGoo: Due to the presence of reproduction programming, a rogue assembly ooze introduced into an environment stocked with technological items could completely overrun such a place in days, leaving behind a wasteland of cheap laser pistols and smoke grenades.

71
72	Ferromagnetic fluid, or ferrofluid, has long been a staple of spacefaring technology. Societies across the galaxy originally created this utilitarian substance by suspending coated nanometer-sized particles of magnetite in viscous liquid. As necessity demanded invention, later iterations of the magnetic liquid began to take on an almost lifelike temperament. The substance increasingly exhibited erratic behavior as engineers tinkered with heavily magnetized liquids, using experimental bioengineered substances to suspend magnetic particles. The final result of these developments was an emergent, though limited, sentience within certain pools of ferrofluid—a consciousness solely consumed with the search for ever-stronger magnetic fields.
73	----
74	* FusionDance: Given enough time and magnetic material, multiple ferrofluid oozes can form into a single, much larger magneto-cluster.

82	----
83	* AcidAttack: The liquescence hunts by enveloping small prey or pouring itself into large prey with its acidic body to slowly digest over time. The chemical makeup of these acids has resulted in an active secondary market in infiltration, weapon and cleaning industries.
84	* InvisibleStomachVisibleFood: In their native Plane of Water, liquescences are translucent and nearly impossible to spot, though this is easier after they have fed, with the decomposing remains of their food slowly digesting within.

94	Purportedly born from some ill-informed experiment performed during the Gap, bodysnatcher slimes are parasitic organisms that commandeer hosts to experience life through their senses.
95	----
96	* PuppeteerParasite: The bodysnatcher slime is a parasitic organism that can distribute itself throughout another creature's body and control the host's actions.
97	* SplitPersonality: As a bodysnatcher slime grows, its modified neural network can develop multiple personalities that compete for resources and control, and eventually split into two new slimes.

137	->'''Size:''' Small
138	----
139	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: A captured liquid arsenate is more likely to turn on its keepers than remain docile. Black-market poisoners constantly look for ways to safely contain liquid arsenates without diluting their poison, but none have been able to devise a reliable method of captivity. Those that prefer punitive justice believe that liquid arsenate farmers who end up poisoned by them more than deserve their fate.
140	* PoisonousPerson: A liquid arsenate's pseudopod inflicts a concentrated dose of arsenic.

151	----
152	* LivingLava: They're living pools of molten rock commonly found on the border regions of the Planes of Earth and Fire and in the vicinity of volcanoes.

163	Disease given physical form, plague oozes are most commonly found on the living planet of Aucturn.
164	----
165	* TheVirus: Contact with a plague ooze can spread ooze plague. Without an immediate cure or quarantine, asymptomatic carriers can infect others, eventually transforming into a plague ooze after they die. This continues as a ghastly epidemic, even long after the source ooze was destroyed.

174	* GlamourFailure: When a replicant ooze loses more than half of its total Hit Points, it immediately reverts back to its true form.
175	* HumanShifting: A fresh brain or similar organ allows a replicant ooze to shape its own biomass into a replica of the donor. When a replicant ooze duplicates a person, it often doesn't realise it is an impostor and attempts to live out the victim's daily life.

184	Oozes originating from deep space in the Shadow Plane.
185	----
186	* AsteroidsMonster: When they regain more hit points than thier maximum thanks to their shadow siphon ability they split in two with the hit points divided evenly between them.
187	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: They can survive in a vacuum indefinitely with no negative side effects. This trait allows them to act as extraterrestrial remoras, floating in space and hitching a ride on ships that pass nearby.
188	* BrownNote: Getting hit by one of their pseudopod attacks and failing an accompanying save renders all of a creature's senses nonfunctional for one round.
189	* CastingAShadow: Light is automatically reduced around them and they heal whenever a dying creature looses a resolve point while in this aura.

223	* HiddenAgendaVillain: Hymothoas have shown little interest in communicating with other species, and little is known about why they infest certain creatures.
224	* PuppeteerParasite: A hymothoa can infest a victim's body and devour internal organs, bones, and even parts of the brain. The hymothoa then mimics the function of those organs, essentially turning the victim into a barely living puppet. When abandoned by the hymothoa, the victim almost always dies; the rare few survivors need a lengthy stay in hospital to replace lost organs.

304	Researchers who experiment too recklessly with quantum forces run the risk of spontaneously creating a quantum slime, an incredibly dangerous ooze composed of enlarged subatomic particles floating inside a mass of cloudy protoplasm-like goo. Though mindless, a quantum slime has the ability to alter reality at a quantum level, calling forth storms of cosmic energy, teleporting itself and others, or diminishing a creature’s overall competency.
305	----
306	* SelfDuplication: A quantum slime can form a quantum-entangled copy of itself. The copy is identical to the original, and the two slimes share a single HP pool. The quantum slime can dismiss one copy when it is about to take damage, causing the other to become the 'true' version.

Over millions and millions of years, these clusters can grow into a starship-sized entity that roams its home star.
