Crystal ooze is a variety of gray ooze (q.v.) <e> that has adapted to live in water. When immersed, it is 75% invisible. <c>
Any dim or dark body of shallow water can be home to crystal ooze. <c>
It can xist out of water for several hours.

The attack mode of crystal ooze is to flow over a victim and exude a
paralyzing poison. The poison causes damage as indicated above and,
unless a saving throw vs. poison is successful, the victim is paralyzed
and will be consumed in a short time. When prey is reduced to -20 hit points,
it has been totally consumed.

Blows from weapons do only 1 point of damage per hit.
Crystal ooze is unharmed by acid, cold, heat, or fire.

Electricity does full damage as do magic missiles. <i>

Wooden weapons are affected by the corrosive poison,
and unless a save vs. acid (per hit) is used, they will be eaten off and break.
