Ecology
Corrupting Ooze is a primitive life form thriving wherever there is moisture and decay — sewers, dungeons, deep caves. It is most often found in any regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Corrupting Ooze is mindless hunger, drawn to motion and warmth, indifferent to consequence. Its Neutral Evil alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it.
Origin
Corrupting Ooze is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
