* '''Teratomorph''': A reality warping slime. Although it is neutral aligned like most slimes it has a lot of chaotic abilities. Its touch can, at random, weaken your stats, polymorph you, make it stick to you, or, if you are really unlucky, instantly absorb you. It randomly opens portals to other planes in the area around it. It also warps the environment around it, making attacks and dexterity checks more difficult, and has a chance of hitting everything around it with two random spells. It has the ability to detect law. It is immune to chaotic spells, lightning, and acid. Weapons have a chance of completely missing due to the section of its body you are attacking suddenly shifting to another dimension before you hit it unless it is affect by a dimensional anchor.

* '''[[Living Spells|Living Spell]]''' (Template): One of the newer additions to the family. Originating in [[Eberron]]'s Mournlands, one of many results of the Day of Mourning, but since adapted to "generic" D&D. Living spell is a template that is applied to one or more spells instead of a creature to make a creature based on that spell or spells. It is always typed as an ooze. Enemies that are slammed or engulfed by the living spell are affected as though they were hit by the spell or spells it is based on. Living spells are also very resistant to magic.  In 5th edition they are classified as constructs instead of oozes.

* '''Snowflake Ooze''': A snow like ooze that live in cold climates and inflicts cold damage. It is immune to cold and vulnerable to fire, piercing attack have a chance of harmlessly passing through it, and bludgeoning attacks cause it to split.

* '''Graveyard Sludge''': A slime made of necrotic energies and powered by the souls of the dead.When powerful necromancy is used around the dead, usually at graveyards during rituals or a [[Lich]] accending (though a really strong spell will do), the slime is formed and begins to hunt down any corpses to feed on the spiritual energy. The energy is used to defend itself but Liches like to use them as a means to bolster themselves. Graveyard Sludges can also cast 5th level or lower spells if they've fed on enough spellcasters. Their abilities are somewhat different in third edition. Creatures that die within 20 feet of graveyard sludge come back as zombies with an acid attack. They can cause fear, and strengthen undead creatures. They are immune to acid, and they are both alive and dead, so they are healed both by heal and inflict spells.

* '''Bloodbloater''': A tiny aquatic ooze that drinks blood and attacks in swarms. Looks like an oversized cell.  Because they are a swarm, they are immune to weapons and single target spells.

* '''Flotsam Ooze''': An aquatic ooze with a very sticky body which collects debris.

* '''Reekmurk''': A huge black aquatic ooze that lives in the depths of the ocean or in underground lakes. They can dissolve wood and have a powerful stench. They are immune to cold, but have a vulnerability to sunlight and spells that act like sunlight.

* '''Bloodrot''': Not actually a true slime, but is really a form of undead made from the remains of somebody who died by being completely dissolved in acid. Infects people with a magical disease called blood fever that causes the victim to melt into a puddle when they die which the blood rot eats. They can hide inside of the bloodstream of anyone who is infected with blood fever. They can also sense the location of anybody who is infected with blood fever within several miles, so if you escape from a battle with one but are infected then more will be attracted to you. Like many true oozes, it can split apart if hit by slashing or piercing damage.  It came back again in 4th edition, now classified as an undead ooze, but lost its unique mechanics.

* '''Brine Ooze''': An ooze that lives in deserts. It either hides in salt lakes or pretends to be a pool of water. It has the ability to rapidly desiccate whatever it slams into and is immune to desiccation itself. Slashing and piercing damage causes it to split.

* '''Cesspit Ooze''': An ooze found in impoverished urban areas that feeds on fear and misery. They form spontaneously from the corpses of people who decayed in sewage or refuse in places near strong sources of magic. Its acid can dissolve organic and metallic materials but not stone. Those who are damaged by its acid may be driven into an uncontrollable rage. They have an overwhelming stink that sickens those that get too close to it. When they die, they explode and splatter acid around them. Slashing and piercing damage makes it split. They are immune to acid and resistant to electricity and fire, but have a weakness against positive energy similar to undead creatures. It is also more intelligent that other kinds of oozes, and are considered to be chaotic evil instead of neutral unlike other oozes.

* '''Sentry Ooze''' (Template): An ooze that has been modified with magic to make it stronger and more intelligent so it can act a guardian for a dungeon.

* '''Welp of Zargon''': Those infected by [[Zargon]]'s slime may transform into humanoid slime creatures.  They deal acid damage and can also infect people with Zargon's slime.  Creatures that get too close to one may be stunned by its horrific resemblance to its former self.

* '''Venom Ooze''': A more dangerous glowing variant of the Ochre Jelly that was engineered by the [[drow]].  They are immune to cold, acid, and electricity, and have the ability to poison large bodies of water.

* '''Blood Amniote''': ''Another'' monster made of blood.  It is classified as an undead but has all the traits of an ooze.  It is a huge mass of blood with the faces of people it has killed that makes people it touches expel their blood through their skin and it splits in two when it drains enough blood.  They also came back in 4th edition as an undead ooze.

* '''Deathreap Ooze''': An ooze from [[Ravenloft]] that inflicts necrotic damage and can create undead creatures by enveloping a corpse, which makes them useful to necromancers.

* '''Skitterhaunt''': A parasitic ooze that infests and animates the corpses of giant bugs.

* '''Obsidian Ooze''': A molten serpentine ooze that attacks smaller prey with sharp spines and drags them into its magmatic interior. Any attacks that hit it tend to melt weapons and spray lava all over their foes.

* '''Genius Loci''': Probably the biggest ooze in D&D history.  An entire piece of landscape or a small planetoid that came to life spontaneously.  It has the ability to enslave a single creature to serve it.  Although it has no intelligence of its own, its behavior is influenced by the personality of its current slave.
