Ooze

CardDMTCRGp. 512014

A gelatinous cube with various items suspended inside it creeps through a vaulted sewer. The Ooze card indicates the importance of something that seems lowly or innocuous.

Upright Meaning

  • Person. A quiet, unassuming person who has hidden power or secret knowledge.
  • Creature or Trap. An Ooze or another creature that seems unimportant, or a trap that is surprisingly simple and straightforward.
  • Place. A humble place of surprising comfort or importance.
  • Treasure. A treasure that is valuable but not beautiful, such as a poorly crafted piece of jewelry incorporating precious stones.
  • Situation. Something important that has been overlooked because it seems ordinary.

Reversed Meaning

  • Person. A quiet, unassuming person completely out of their depth.
  • Creature or Trap. An Ooze that has developed curiosity, unexpected intelligence, and a way to communicate, or a dangerous trap that is difficult to detect.
  • Place. A humble place with little to offer.
  • Treasure. An art object depicting an ooze or the destruction of a particularly notable Ooze; alternatively, a magic item useful against Oozes (such as a Ring of Acid Resistance).
  • Situation. A situation complicated by the sheer number of minor factors tangled within it.
