Tar Blob
A massive, slow-moving mound of viscous tar that traps and suffocates its prey.
The tar blob doesn't chase you down. It doesn't need to. Once you're close enough to smell the thick, petroleum reek, you're already stuck. Its body is a living pit of black, glutinous tar that clings to everything it touches. Swords barely scratch it — the tar just flows back together. Crushing blows scatter it, though, and fire? Fire is its nightmare. Adventurers have learned to keep torches handy in the deep caves. The blob's slow movement is deceptive; its reach is longer than you'd think, and once it engulfs you, only your allies' quick action will save you from a slow, sticky end.
