-Preferring to pool in tight, confined spaces, they like the base of staircases, the bottom of pits and the crevices of underground tunnels, where unwary creatures may stumble upon them.  Oozes are sedentary in nature, tending to remain in one place for extended periods.  Their lifespan is unknown and they may survive for hundreds, even thousands of years; reportedly, they have been found in ancient, buried chambers, though it's not certain that they were able to seep inside such places.

-When engaging in an attack, the grey ooze can extend an appendage from their amorphous bodies, thrust outward in a manner akin to a striking snake.  This method of attack seeks to surprise prey and cripple it's lower limbs, so that it has difficulting moving off, or climb out of whatever hole the ooze occupies.  Then, steadily, the ooze can close with its prey and devour it.

 '''Grey ooze''' is a lethargic, amorphous creature that oozes its way through the labyrinthine passages of [[Subterranean (range)|subterranean]] environments.  Similar to a [[Slime Moulds (sage study)|pudding]], these creatures exhibit a remarkable ability to contort and squeeze their form to navigate through confined spaces, allowing them to slip through openings as narrow as half an inch in width, such as a [[Dungeon Door|dungeon door]].  While they can manage ascending a stairwell, they're unable to scale a vertical wall or traverse across a ceiling.

 __TOC__
 In appearance, grey ooze possesses a distinctive, slightly greenish hue.  Oozes lack the adaptive feature of [[Camouflage (natural ability)|camouflage]] due to their inherent reflective qualities.  Thus observers who chance upon their presence in the dark depths are sure to recognise the creature's concerning nature.
