|feature1=Ooze Cube
|flimit1=
|fdesc1=The cube takes up its entire space. Other creatures can enter the space, but a creature that does so is subjected to the cube’s Engulf and has {{srd5lc|Disadvantage}} on the {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}. 

Creatures inside the cube can be seen but have total cover. 

A creature within 5 feet of the cube can take an {{srd5lc|Action}} to pull a creature or object out of the cube. Doing so requires a successful {{SRD5|DC}} 12 {{SRD5|Strength}} check, and the creature making the attempt takes 10 (3d6) {{srd5lc|Acid}} damage. 

The cube can hold only one {{SRD5|Large}} creature or up to four {{SRD5|Medium}} or smaller creatures inside it at a time.

|feature2=Transparent
|flimit2=
|fdesc2=Even when the cube is in plain sight, it takes a successful DC 15 {{SRD5|Wisdom}} ({{SRD5|Perception}}) check to spot a cube that has neither moved nor attacked. A creature that tries to enter the cube’s space while unaware of the cube is {{SRD5|Surprise|surprised}} by the cube.

|action1=Pseudopod
|alimit1=
|adesc1=''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. one target. ''Hit:'' 10 (3d6) {{srd5lc|Acid}} damage.

|action2=Engulf
|alimit2=
|adesc2=The cube moves up to its {{srd5lc|Speed}}. While doing so, it can enter {{SRD5|Large}} or smaller creatures’ spaces. Whenever the cube enters a creature’s space, the creature must make a DC 12 {{SRD5|Dexterity}} saving throw. 

On a successful save, the creature can choose to be {{srd5lc|Push}}ed 5 feet back or to the side of the cube. A creature that chooses not to be pushed suffers the consequences of a failed saving throw. 

On a failed save, the cube enters the creature’s space, and the creature takes 10 (3d6) acid damage and is engulfed. The engulfed creature {{SRD5|Environment#Suffocation|can’t breathe}}, is {{srd5lc|Restrained}}, and takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the cube’s {{srd5lc|Turn}}s. When the cube moves, the engulfed creature moves with it. 

An engulfed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a DC 12 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the cube.
