The following set of Death Oozes represents the complete life cycle of a single Ooze. It starts as a spore and grows as it consumes living flesh, as it grows it changes in size and abilities until it is ready to go to a ‘well’ and start reproducing/spreading. 1: Lurking Spore – small, level 4 lurker – opportunist, wants to survive and feed.2: Exploratory Globule – medium, level 4 elite skirmisher – more aggressive, wants to feed, starts to use the undead to help it.3: Flowing Nexus – large, level 6 elite controller – has grown powerful enough to have a large contingent of undead to help it to feed.4: Spawning Form – huge, level 8 solo brute – doesn’t need the undead anymore, its main motivation now is to get to a ‘well’ to become a Cyst5: Death Ooze Cyst – wants to reproduce, expand, eat the world etc.---------------------------------------------------------------- Lurking Spore (Death Ooze) Level 4 Lurker Small Elemental Beast (necrotic, acid) XP 175  Initiative +6 Senses Perception +7 HP 50;
