Earthclot

Earthclot

This massive, semi-translucent ooze feeds by cramming it gelatinous bulk into tight dungeon passageways, absorbing detritus and any creature unwary enough to get in its way. Earthclots are difficult to harm by conventional means, but can be prodded to move along slightly more quickly than normal. This may be of little comfort, however, to the adventurer who finds his or her way blocked by one while fleeing a greater hazard.

Trivia

• Originally called the Tunnel Trapper, over a 100 suggestions to rename the Tunnel Trapper have been submitted by fans. Some quite descriptive, some funny, some embarrassing. Of these, Baal’s clever nomination of Earthclot was selected and the creature renamed in Update 19.
