A volatile ooze is an ooze that bustles and bubbles as it moves. When it is slain, it explodes in a large spread of acid.
A volatile ooze is an ooze that has accidentally sprung a trap of fireball (or a similar explosive effect). The ooze, if it survives, begins to bubble and swirl within its own body. This volatile presence coats the Ooze in a bubbling acidic veil that grants it immunity and some extra acid damage. However, when the Volatile Ooze dies, the true energy take form and cause the ooze's body to explode, dealing massive amounts of acid damage.
Creating a Volatile Ooze[edit]
The Volatile Ooze template is an acquired template that can be added to any ooze that has the acid special attack (hereafter, referred to as the base creature).
