Boggles are 3-foot tall, vaguely humanoid creatures whose coloration varies from blackish-blue to dark gray.
They all have large bulbous heads, but the rest of their body parts are disproportionate and vary from individual to individual
(large noses, arms of different lengths, spindly legs, and so forth).

The social organization of boggles is loosely tribal.
They tend to whine && gibber a lot when dealing with other creatures.
Outside their lair, boggles are somewhat cowardly, and they all tend to be thieves.
However, when found in their lair, boggles are aggressive and voracious.

Boggles secrete a viscous, nonflammable, black oil from pores in their bodies.
Anyone treading on the oil (except creatures specially adapted, like boggles, for climbing on slick surfaces) must roll their dexterity or lower on 1d20 or fall down.
Characters who fall must spend an entire round standing back up.
Boggles will try to steal articles from a character who has fallen.
They must make a successful roll vs. AC 5 to steal any one item from a fallen or stunned character.

Boggles have a rubbery hide and their bodies are partially elastic.
They may stretch to twice their length or contract to one-half their size. Because
they have slippery and resilient hides, all weapon attacks on boggles will
cause -1 point per die of damage. Boggles naturally resist fire (as the ring)
and can spider climb at will. They like to cling to ceilings in order to DROP
on unwary characters and get an additional 2 claw attacks (as do cats).

Finally, boggles have an exceptionally keen sense of smell and can even
detect invisible creatures by smell. Other races are known to utilize
boggles as guards and watchers because of this ability. When boggles
sense intruders they set up a high-pitched keening wail to warn their
masters.
