As a rat moves to an algae-filled pool of water to take a drink, the pool suddenly comes to life and devours the rat._ Putrescent slimes form in large pools of fetid water and are often mistaken for algae by neophyte explorers in the depths of the world. **Pool Feeders.** Putrescent slimes lurk in dank pools, only attacking desperate creatures that drink from their homes. As their prey decomposes in the water, the putrescent slime slowly digests the disgusting morass. **Ooze Nature.** A putrescent slime doesn’t require sleep.
