"Proliferating in dark, confined spaces across the realms, these almost-translucent oozes remain a perennial problem for dungeon explorers. As if keeping your senses alert for every hint of a shadowed movement, odd smells, strange noises, hidden traps, and secret doors weren't enough, gelatinous cubes require you to watch out for faint wobbles in the air and suspiciously clean stonework. The only thing more irritating than trying to see one is failing and being engulfed by something that feels like lukewarm acidic butter. At least, before it begins to dissolve your socks and the skin underneath.",
"This plushie pattern will melt your heart, not your flesh. Its design incorporates several objects of the type that many gelatinous cubes carry around, such as bones and weapons. The size is just right to fit into a {@item dungeoneer's pack|XPHB}, and the design's challenges will keep both mind and fingers alert during those midnight watches."
