Monsters: Ooze
These ones were a pain to stat up. I've had to use at least 6 different books to properly represent the engulfing attack and the ooze senses. But I'm glad to be done with these. Oozes are always fun, but they can be very deadly in GURPS. I've decided to omit their splitting ability, because I cannot come up with a proper way to represent it, aside from Duplication with Uncontrollable Trigger.

Engulf: If
the black pudding starts its turn in close combat with prey or can move there
on its turn, it tries to engulf its target; no attack roll is necessary and its
quarry may defend only by dodging and retreating. In addition, if it is moving
through an SM+2 or smaller creature, this counts as an automatic slam attempt (Pyramid #3-77, p. 6). Failure to dodge means
being sucked inside and pinned if of lower SM than the black pudding, or partly
stuck in the black pudding and grappled if of equal or greater SM. The victim
can break free by winning a Quick Contest of ST (allowed only every 10 seconds
if pinned; and on a 17 or 18, he becomes so entangled that he cannot escape on
his own); the black pudding has +10 to ST if pinning or +5 if grappling. Engulfed
victims cannot breathe. If they run out of breath before they break free, they
start to suffocate (see Holding Your
Breath, p. B351 and Suffocation,
p. B436). The typical black pudding can pin/grapple one foe; later enemies are
pushed along in front of it unless they win a Quick Contest of ST to prevent it
from moving. The black pudding can actively constrict engulfed victims, attacking
them each turn with a Constriction Attack (p. B43). This ability has effective
ST 24.
Acid: The
creature secretes a digestive acid that dissolves organic material and metal,
but does not affect stone. Any organic or metal creature or object touching the
black pudding takes 1d-1 corrosion damage per second. Engulfed creatures and
objects take it as Large-Area Injury
(p. B400).
Ooze Senses:
An ooze’s entire body is a primitive sensory organ that can ascertain prey by
scent and vibration. It uses standard range penalties instead of a -1/yard
penalty when detecting smells, and gets a +5 bonus on Smell and Taste rolls
(Sense roll 15). Its smell operates both in air and underwater. In addition,
the ooze can detect vibrations in the air. It can locate prey in the dark, but
cannot detect details. To use Vibration Sense, the ooze must make a Sense roll
(10). Consult the Size and Speed/Range
Table (p. B550) and apply separate
bonuses for the target’s size and speed, and a penalty for the range to the
target. Wind will generate “noise” that interferes with this sense. Find the
speed of the wind on the table and assess the relevant speed penalty. A
successful roll reveals the rough size, location, speed, and direction of
movement of the target, allowing the ooze to move to it and attempt to engulf
it.

Engulf: If
the black pudding starts its turn in close combat with prey or can move there
on its turn, it tries to engulf its target; no attack roll is necessary and its
quarry may defend only by dodging and retreating. In addition, if it is moving
through an SM+3 or smaller creature, this counts as an automatic slam attempt (Pyramid #3-77, p. 6). Failure to dodge means
being sucked inside and pinned if of lower SM than the black pudding, or partly
stuck in the black pudding and grappled if of equal or greater SM. The victim

Engulf: If
the gray ooze starts its turn in close combat with prey or can move there on
its turn, it tries to engulf its target; no attack roll is necessary and its
quarry may defend only by dodging and retreating. In addition, if it is moving
through an SM-1 or smaller creature, this counts as an automatic slam attempt (Pyramid #3-77, p. 6). Failure to dodge means
being sucked inside and pinned if of lower SM than the gray ooze, or partly
stuck in the gray ooze and grappled if of equal or greater SM. The victim can
break free by winning a Quick Contest of ST (allowed only every 10 seconds if pinned;
and on a 17 or 18, he becomes so entangled that he cannot escape on his own);
the gray ooze has +10 to ST if pinning or +5 if grappling. The typical gray
ooze can pin/grapple one foe; later enemies are pushed along in front of it
unless they win a Quick Contest of ST to prevent it from moving. The gray ooze can
actively constrict engulfed victims, attacking them each turn with a
Constriction Attack (p. B43). This ability has effective ST 12.
Acid: The
creature secretes a digestive acid that dissolves organic material and metal,
but does not affect stone. Any organic or metal creature or object touching the
gray ooze takes 1d-1 corrosion damage per second. Engulfed creatures and
objects take it as Large-Area Injury
(p. B400).
Ooze Senses:
An ooze’s entire body is a primitive sensory organ that can ascertain prey by
scent and vibration. It uses standard range penalties instead of a -1/yard
penalty when detecting smells, and gets a +5 bonus on Smell and Taste rolls
(Sense roll 15). Its smell operates both in air and underwater. In addition,
the ooze can detect vibrations in the air. It can locate prey in the dark, but
cannot detect details. To use Vibration Sense, the ooze must make a Sense roll
(10). Consult the Size and Speed/Range
Table (p. B550) and apply separate
bonuses for the target’s size and speed, and a penalty for the range to the
target. Wind will generate “noise” that interferes with this sense. Find the
speed of the wind on the table and assess the relevant speed penalty. A
successful roll reveals the rough size, location, speed, and direction of
movement of the target, allowing the ooze to move to it and attempt to engulf
it.

Paralysis: A
gelatinous cube secretes an anesthetizing slime. If a creature touches the
gelatinous cube with its bare skin, it must roll HT to resist. It becomes
paralyzed for 3 seconds per point of margin of failure. After that the subject is stunned (p. B420) and may roll vs. HT once per second to recover. The slime is diluted underwater - the victims roll to resist at +3.
