IMO since a cube is just as Long as Tall I'm going with a Reach of 1 by the flavor text and how I see the monster attacking. With both its Slam & Engulf attacks I think it's trying to ram into something directly in front of it since there's no mention of pseudopods or whatnot so a Reach of 2 doesn't fit since it's not reaching over or around anyone else. It's literally a wall of jello sludging around like a juggernaut banging into things. With its Slam attack either it didn't have a lot of momentum maybe, or didn't have enough of a "hold" onto its target to Engulf them, but enough to stick them in place (the Slam's immobilize).To attack up, I'll admit I had to mentally kick this around for awhile. The best way I can see this attacking up is imagining this giant cube of jello pulling in on all of its sides so that it's top is forced up. I can easily imagine this flexible goo gaining enough height that it can attack 1 square in that direction and that mental picture also works for how it's attacks work against creatures on the ground around it if it doesn't move or charge.I can't see this thing jumping up with enough force to get any higher and expect it would be thwarted by any crevasse greater than 5+ feet wide where it is likely to just fall in, but there's no mention about this having difficulty with stairs and whatever. Still, with Strength & Dex Mods of just +4 and no other skills besides Stealth, it's not going to be making too many Athletics or Acrobatics checks.</blockquote>
