Category:Gelatinous Cube Race

A gelatinous cube, also known as an athcoid, is a transparent ooze composed of mindless, gelatinous matter in the shape of a cube or rhombohedron.

Typically, a gelatinous cube measures between 10 and 15 ft (3‒4.6 m) on a side and weighes as much as 50,000 lb (23,000 kg), although legends exist of much larger cubes. The creature is mostly transparent, with only a glint of its surface in the light to give away its position. The occasional random object floating in a well fed gelatinous cube's body serve as a warning of its presence to dungeon delvers.

Gelatinous cube bodies are remarkably moldable. They could flow around objects and through narrow passages, quickly returning to their shapes once enough space was available.
