Crystal Ooze

Category: Magical Beast / Ooze (Basilisk variant)

Description

An amorphous, shifting entity composed of jagged, translucent crystalline structures rather than traditional organic slime.

Abilities

• Petrification/Crystallization: They can shoot beams or use physical contact to transmutate organic matter into solid crystal. Their crystalline bodies make them highly resistant to slashing weapons and many forms of magic due to their innate mana resistance.

Lore

Found in the deeper, mana-dense regions of the Dungeon. They digest the organic matter they crystallize, leaving behind beautiful but macabre crystal statues of their victims.
