Not every horror in the dungeon stalks on two legs. Some slide. Some seep. And some wear your face.
Issue 55 of d12 Monthly delved into oozes and shapeshifters – but a few particularly dangerous specimens refused to stay contained within the printed pages.
Inside you’ll find variant gelatinous cubes that glow with phosphorescent lure, erupt in corrosive flashes, or move with unsettling hive-driven speed.
Meet the Memory-Eater – a doppelganger that doesn’t just copy its victims, but consumes their very thoughts, stealing memories, skills, and identity. If your players thought they knew how these monsters worked, they were wrong.
But this isn’t just about new terrors.
“Treasure That Survives” details what valuables endure the digestive horrors of oozes – from coins suspended in slime to hardened “ooze pearls” and semi-digested spellbooks in wax-sealed cases.
And for those brave (or foolish) enough to hunt such threats, the Slime-Warden equipment section arms you with ash-lined boots, containment hooks, quicklime satchels, neutralising salts, and other practical tools for surviving corrosive encounters in grounded, old-school play.
More monsters. More tools. More gameable danger.
