Editing Grue (section)

==Mud Grue==
When they first appeared in Dungeon #37's adventure "The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb", mud grues were only mentioned in passing; any earth or water-based spell had a 50% chance of summoning a mud grue, which would attempt to kill the mage whose spell had brought them forth. They were described as resembling a mud-caked, diminutive humanoid crocodile, being immune to earth & water-based spells, and having an enchanted bite attack that could inflict drowning on a victim if the grue rolled a natural 20 and the victim then failed a save vs. petrification.

Perhaps fittingly, the adventure they appeared in for Dungeon #138 was a 3e update of that very same adventure. This version still looked like a mud-caked humanoid crocodile, but had lost its drowning bite ability; instead, it could now disrupt earth & water spells within 40 feet and could spit nauseating, potentially blinding mud at a single target once every 1d4 rounds. Also, it could be summoned by spells with the Earth, Water, Acid or Cold descriptors.
