Gelatinous Goos

gelatinous goos

Gelatinous goos are jelly creatures native to Eem's core and come in many sizes and colors—though blue is most common. They are highly malleable, able to flatten and squeeze through cracks, and they can withstand incredible temperatures. They have no eyes or mouth, but they can perceive and emote nonetheless, and they eat by absorbing food within their translucent jelly bodies, breaking down soft organic matter. Goos speak their own unique language—Gelatinous Gooese—and can understand Folk Tongue but cannot speak it. Since they are few and far between, there is no strong gelatinous goo culture to speak of in the Mucklands.
