Ooze

-Fanmade Grimm. Awaiting proper rules to add more to the page-

Name: Dusky Ooze

Species: Grimm

Appearance
Dusky Ooze is a species of Grimm that is as dark as night. It feels like warm sludge upon touching it and has a sticky texture. As like most Grimm, it has a white mask with red markings on it, that is also made of a sludge like fluid.

Nature
This creature is pretty much emotionless at nature. It won't attack you unless you touch it, taking a part of its essence. It doesn't scream or squeal, so you'll have to listen out for sounds of dripping liquid.

Because they'll only act aggressive toward you if you attack one first, you don't need to fight them at encounter anyway.

Habitat
Ooze live down below towns and cities within the sewers or in any murky dark environment. It is said to be the waters down there were contaminated badly, causing mutation among the sludge and sewage. Because it's essentially a liquid monster, it can slip through pipelines easily. Sometimes Ooze will travel through pipes and end up in a person's house, causing a panic among the residents in the area.

Dusky Ooze try their best to stay out of the sun as light is one of their main weaknesses. If you anger one, running outside is one of your best survival methods.

Fighting Style
As a creature with no arms or legs, you might think of how this thing could be dangerous. Well for starters, if you get caught in it, you might never escape it; a Dusky Ooze's body is like a strong adhesive. If a living creature were to get absorbed inside its body, they would most likely suffocate after 3 minutes and be left unconscious (they won't die right away, that would probably take 20 minutes at least).

It's best advised not to attack an Ooze head on with a normal weapon. If your weapon comes in contact with its body, it will simply get stuck, and absorbed into it later; the same thing goes for anything that touches it really. If you manage to split it apart, it won't do any good. As a living adhesive, it can pretty much re-attach itself, but is not able to multipy through mitosis.

An Ooze can also manipulate its body to create tentacles that can grab you from short distances. These things are more smart than they are wild, so they will try to grab anything on you they see as a threat (like your weapons for example). It can also glide easily on water, because its density is less than it (pretty much it floats).

How to beat one
If you come across an Ooze, the best way to beat/scare one would be to freeze it in place with an ice-based attack. They are afraid of the cold because it seals their movement completely.

If you want to slay one, you'll need to use a fire or light based attack on them. Their bodies will start to disintigrate in a very hot flame, and will do the same when under any form of bright light. Light from torches, or flashlights won't be enough to hold them back.

Trivia

 * I know what you're thinking about the tentacles, but NO! XD


 * Dusky Ooze are just called Ooze as a way to shorten the name.


 * When I drew him I was trying to go for a ghost Grimm, but he got more blob-like in appearance.


 * Unintentionally, it can remind you of Arakune from Blazblue.
 * You can also think of No Face from Spirited Away.
