OLIVE SLIME
Source: 1e Monster Manual 2.
Olive slime is a hideous variant of green slime. This hideous stuff strongly resembles an ooze, but unlike most oozes, it is actually a plant. Olive slime is terrifying to encounter in any of its forms.
Multiple Approaches to Predation: Olive slime is not always encountered as an animate mass; it sometimes appears in a more latent form, looking like a puddle of olive-colored semi-liquid with the consistency and appearance of sour cream. Creatures contacting the olive slime in this state are subject to olive slime infection.
Parasitic Life Cycle: Olive slime is a horrifying parasite. In order to reproduce, it slays a humanoid creature, then infects it with more slime, at which point the victim becomes an animate, shambling humanoid made of slime. After a few weeks of animation during which the slime creature cooperates with other slime creatures and the olive slime that spawned it, the slime creature collapses into a new olive slime.
Unclear Origins: Like so many of the world's monsters, the origins of olive slime are not entirely clear. Some sages suggest that the first olive slime was the result of exposing green slime to the radiations of the Far Realms, while others posit a connection with Juiblex. The wisest of druids claim that olive slime, while of worldly origin, is not a natural plant; someone or something definitely had a hand in its creation.
