	The gelatinous cube's origin is also mysterious. No evidence of any sort of gestation has been found; it has been suggested that the creature accumulates over time from dead gelatinous material gathering in oubliette-formations beneath very large subterranean dungeons. However it happens, once alive the creature moves constantly, ascending or descending though chimneys and roaming along passages in search of both dead and alive victims. Since the creature can move through a slot only an inch high and a foot wide, the creature's cubic shape should not be seen as a limitation. It is merely the preferred shape the creature takes, due to its strange biology.		The gelatinous cube's origin is also mysterious.

-When attacking, the gelatinous cube will typically advance two hexes and produce a length of protoplasm, which it uses to strike living victims.  Apart from damage done, a [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] against paralyzation must be made; failure indicates the victim will be paralysed for 5–20 rounds.  Because of its size, others will not be able to keep the cube from moving over the victim; thereafter, the victim has the potential to die within 3–12 rounds.  The only possible remedy will be to kill the cube and extricate the victim (which will take two full rounds) before the enzymes in the cube will cause the paralysed victim to fall into shock and die.  There is no save from this death except to succeed in the original save against paralyzation.
