''A glistening black sheen begins to move over the slick damp floor your way.  Be careful with your fire.''

A fungus-based ooze which seems to have appeared after humanoids began to mine and extract crude oil, oilslick oozes look very much like puddles of oil.  They can be difficult to detect, especially if they begin to infest areas where oil slicks may be expected.  They devour organic creatures, rapidly decaying them into crude oil which they add to their mass.  Gnomes have tried to harvest the oilslick oozes as a way to establish renewable oil supplies, but the oozes are difficult to handle and it has resulted in more than one industrial accident.

Oilslick oozes are very flammable, but they are attracted to sources of heat.  This is because while fire does harm them to a point, it is also how they reproduce.  When an oilslick ooze becomes large enough it willingly seeks to ignite itself, so that its spores may bubble up and be carried into the air on plumes of smoke.  Sometimes it willingly even explodes to spread its spores as far as it can.

Oilslick ooze puddles vary in sizes, but usually at least 6-8 feet in diameter and very thin.  When in movement it bunches up and increases in depths, forming a iridescent black disc.
