In the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, Ooze is a type of creature, or "creature type". This category includes such monsters as the gelatinous cube, slimes, jellies, deadly puddings, and similar mindless, amorphous blobs.

Many oozes dwell underground, and most secrete an acid from their skin that dissolves flesh and other materials rapidly.

Oozes are essentially blind, but more than make up for that with an ability called "blindsight", which allows them to discern nearby objects and creatures without needing to see them.
