Try H.P. Lovecraft's Shoggots("In the allucinating mountains")... THAT'S BEFORE ACTUAL RPGS and before D&D!!!!

Uh...thanks for the kind words. I'd add it, but unfortunately, I know little about Shoggoths or even gelatinous cubes. It certainly is part of the origin of the gelatinous cubes, and somebody who knows more should probably add it.

Shoggoths look like gigantic amoebae made of tar with eyes floating on the surface. They look nothing at all like Gelatinous cubes.

Nearly silent and semi-transparent, gelatinous cubes often find themselves gorged with delectible delicacies made from the frightened, electrofied-bodies of unwary travelers. They are vulnerable to fire, so scorching their broadsides with a torch is one method to send them into full retreat. If this attempt is successful, the experienced adventurer may be treated to a visionary delight, as the g-cube often slides around pits or climbs walls and ceilings in order to get out of harm's way.

[edit] paragraph rewritten

Since it is transparent, the cube can be difficult to spot, and a person in a hurry may find themselves blundering right into one. It is also believed Cubes can cling to walls and pit-sides, allowing it to circumnavigate dungeon obstacles. However G-Cubes are highly flammeable and vulnerable to fire.

I think the above paragraph needs to be rewritten, but I'm not sure how would be best. Any suggestions? FrozenPurpleCube 16:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
