• 菌類（ファンガス。fungus）： グーが発生する場所に見られる、粘液質の動かない増殖物(伝統的に、クラッシュルームのような動く菌類（mobile fungoid）は、グーとは見なされません)。
• グロップ（glop）： グーの別の語 (バーバリアンのglöppから)。
• ガンク（gunk）： グーの別の語 (ドワーフの「グハンク（g’hunk）」から)。
• ゼリー（jelly）： 流れが遅い透明なグーで、かさばりすぎて狭い隙間に入り込めません (電撃クラゲ（electric jelly）のような突然変異クラゲも、グーとは見なされません)。
• カビ（モルド。mold）： 偶然触れたり、踏み込んだりした、動かない平らなグー。
• ウーズ（ooze）： 驚くほど速く動き、平らにつぶれてドアの下にしみ込むグー。
• プディング（pudding）： 固くて動きやすく、つま先で戦うことができるグー。
• スカム（scum）： 水の上に浮かぶグー (ほとんどの場合、スライム)。
• スライム（slime）： 突進はできないが、滴り落ちる、表面を這う半可動性のグー。
• 胞子雲（spore cloud）： 空中に浮遊するグー。

原書表記

fungus: Pulpy, stationary growth found where goo occurs (traditionally, a mobile fungoid – like a crushroom – isn’t considered goo).

glop: Another word for goo (from the barbarian glöpp).

gunk: Yet another word for goo (from the dwarvish g’hunk).

jelly: Slow-flowing transparent goo that’s too bulky to penetrate narrow gaps (dire jellyfish, like the electric jelly,
aren’t considered goo either).

mold: Stationary, flat goo you accidentally touch or step in.

ooze: Disturbingly fast goo that squishes flat to seep under doors after you.

pudding: Goo solid and mobile enough to engage in toe-totoe combat.

scum: Any kind of goo, most often slime, sitting atop water.

slime: Semi-mobile surface-hugging goo that can’t rush you but can drip on you.

spore cloud: Airborne goo.

Gooey Bodies
　Goo lacks most of the weaknesses of complex organisms that have internal organs, eyeballs, debts, and regrets. It is universally immune to bleeding, blinding, disease, pain, poison, sleep, and suffocation, and has neither vital areas to attack nor discrete body parts to cripple. Its amorphous internal structure means that if it has ST 1+, it divides BL by four when it tries to lift, carry, or pull rather than push (goo with ST 0 can’t do any of these things). A pair of mutually exclusive meta-traits sum up these details:

Gooey Minds and Perceptions
Most goo has IQ 0. The IQ 1+ kinds are no easier to control, influence, or scare; they have Immunity to Mind Control, Indomitable, and Unfazeable. Such “smart” goo might possess skills and always has the Wild Animal meta-trait. This doesn’t make it an animal for the purpose of spells – goo is rarely affected by any sort of control.

[[グーのステータス>グー#Reading_Goo_Stats]]（Reading Goo Stats）　p.3

本来はp.3にあるコラムだが、配置的には各モンスター・データの前に置いておいた方が良いと判断し、表記位置をこちらに移している。

• 体力（ST）、敏捷力（DX）、知力（IQ）、生命力（HT）、ヒットポイント（HP）、意志力（Will）、知覚力（Per）、疲労点（FP）、反応速度（Speed）、移動力（Move）：
  • これらの能力値は、 GURPSのヒーローやその他すべてのクリーチャーに当てはまる意味を持ちます。体力0のグーは、物を拾ったり、組みつくことも組みつかれたりすることもできません。ほとんどのグーは知力0です。グーの行動は反射的であり、精神がないため、影響判定、精神操作判定、恐怖判定などに対して免疫（「無効化」）があります。
• サイズ修正（SM）：
  • これはグーへのすべての命中判定に影響します。通常呪文を唱えるエネルギー消費に「1 + SM」を掛けます。ステータスには、攻撃範囲の増加などの他の効果がすでに反映されています。
• 「よけ」（Dodge）と「受け」（Parry）：
  • 「よけ」は基本反応速度から事前に計算されており、「戦闘即応」と「強化よけ」のボーナスがすでに含まれています。これらを再度追加しないでください。グーは「受け」できません。「受け」は常に「なし」（N/A）です。
• 防護点（DR）：
  • これは自然・超自然的要因による合計DRです。DRは鎧を着ることはできませんが、たとえば狂ったドルイドがスライムに『鉄皮薬』をかけた場合、GM はさらにDRを追加できます。
• 攻撃手段（Attacks）：
  • これらは攻撃名順（原書のアルファベット順）にリストされています。打撃と組みつきの場合、括弧（）内の数字は修正後技能レベルです（ただし目標値ではありません）。特殊効果、呪い、毒などの場合、抵抗判定です。これは、単純な能力値判定または被害者の値を用いる即決勝負である可能性があります。威力の数値は最終的なものであり、技能と特徴のボーナスがすでに考慮されています。
• 性質：
  • 『GURPS Dungeon Fantasy』で重要な有利な特徴や不利な特徴。簡潔にするために、「防護点」と攻撃手段は2回リストされず、“色”の性質はまったく表記されません。一部のグーが異常に魅力的で、「特異点」の影響を受けている場合は、GM は好みに合わせて調整できます (おいおい！)。
• 技能（Skills）：
  • そのタイプのすべてのグーが持つ技能。ほとんどのグーは知力はせいぜい1です。技能を持っているだけでも、本当に優れた研究対象になります。
• モンスタークラス（Class）：
  • グーはほぼ常に「スライム」なので、ほとんどの動物系呪文や植物系呪文の影響を受けません。菌類（ファンガス）は「植物」として扱われ、植物系呪文の影響を受けます。
• 備考（Notes）：
  • その他重要な事項。アスタリスク (*) や「※」の付いたステータスの説明や、記載ステータスまたはこれらのガイドラインの例外などを説明します。

原書表記

　The goo in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2: Icky Goo uses the stats format from p. 21 of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 2: Dungeons. Character-point values aren’t shown because these creatures are highly unsuitable as Allies or Alternate Forms and possess many abilities that are difficult to represent using advantages.

ST, DX, IQ, HT, HP, Will, Per, FP, Speed, and Move: These basic attributes and secondary characteristics mean exactly what they do for heroes and every other creature in GURPS. Goo with ST 0 cannot pick up objects, grapple, or be usefully grappled. Most goo has IQ 0; its actions are reflexive and it’s immune to Influence rolls, mind control, Fright Checks, and so on because it has no mind.

SM: This affects all rolls to hit the goo. Multiply the energy cost to cast Regular spells on it by (1 + SM). The stats already reflect other effects, such as increased Reach.

Dodge and Parry: Dodge is prefigured from Basic Speed and already includes bonuses for Combat Reflexes and Enhanced Dodge – don’t add these again. No goo can parry; Parry is always “N/A.”

DR: This is total DR from natural and supernatural sources. Goo cannot wear armor, but the GM may add more DR if, say, a mad druid pours an invulnerability potion into a slime.

Attacks: These are listed by attack name. For strikes and grapples, the number in parentheses is effective skill. For afflictions, curses, venoms, and the like, it’s the resistance roll, which might be a simple attribute roll or a Quick Contest against the victim’s score. Damage scores are final, and already consider bonuses for skills and advantages.

Traits: Advantages or disadvantages important in dungeon fantasy. For brevity’s sake, DR and attacks aren’t listed a second time, and “color” traits don’t appear at all.
If it matters that some goo is unusually attractive and suffers from Weirdness Magnet, the GM can adjust it to taste
(yuck!).

Skills: Any skills possessed by all goo of this type. Most goo is IQ 1 at best – simply having skills would make it a truly exceptional specimen!

Class: Goo is nearly always Slime and thus immune to most Animal and Plant spells. Fungi count as Plant and are affected by Plant spells.

Notes: Anything else of importance – including explanations of stats with an asterisk (*) on them and exceptions to listed stats or these guidelines.

「第2章：[[グーの運用>グー#Slimin_It]]」
-第2章：[[L-グーの運用>グー#Slimin_It]]（2. Slimin’ It）　p.19

原書表記

　Goo ought to be disgusting, and the GM is encouraged to play this up. Delvers should encounter it in unpleasant places – from the stagnant, mushroom-scented bayou dotted with rotten, centipede-covered stumps, through the forgotten graveyard full of lichen-eroded tombstones in its midst, to the slime-dripping catacombs beneath. Beyond setting the scene, this builds tension: What’s that moving under the surface scum? Is this glop harmless or the kind that eats flesh? What’s that awful smell?

　Here’s a little help with the answers . . .

「[[グーを知れ>グー#Know_Your_Goo]]」
--[[L-グーを知れ>グー#Know_Your_Goo]]（Know Your Goo）　p.19

原書表記

　In dealings with goo, the knowledge skill required for Recognition (Dungeons, p. 9) and Exploiting Weaknesses (Dungeons, p. 10) is Naturalist. This replaces Physiology, Psychology, and Hidden Lore in rules that call for those skills. Goo is neither physically nor mentally nor socially complex enough to rate dedicated specialties of its own.

　As goo is a standard wetlands menace in Dungeon Fantasy, adventurers can also try recognition rolls (only) against Survival (Swampland). If the campaign uses Survival (Subterranean), from Pyramid #3/50: Dungeon Fantasy II, that skill works as well.

　Goo is extremely variable, however. Oozes form ponds with arcane abilities; jelly has only two basic varieties, but one possesses unpredictable capabilities; puddings come in at least seven colors, two of them rare; slimes all look alike but exude 15 different toxins; molds offer 27 color-texture patterns before even considering atypical specimens; fungus exhibits diverse morphologies unrelated to its 36 possible ability combinations; and spore clouds may produce any of 36 common toxin blends and countless uncommon ones. Recognition rolls that succeed by 0-4 give broad monster type (fungus, jelly, mold, etc.) but provide further details only if there are visual warning signs, as with puddings and molds. Success by 5+ spots subtle markers hinting at the threat that a slime, fungus, or spore cloud poses, or that distinguish a jelly as absorptive.
Predicting what an ooze pond or an absorptive jelly can do requires Identify Slime: a spell that works like Identify Plant and requires Power Investiture 1 (Druidic).

「[[グーの遭遇>グー#Gooey_Encounters]]」
--[[L-グーの遭遇>グー#Gooey_Encounters]]（Gooey Encounters）　p.19

原書表記

　The customary use of goo is to spice up subterranean and wilderness adventures. The stationary and near-stationary kinds (fungi, molds, and slimes) are basically obstacles or traps, adding variety to the usual falling rocks, lava pits, poison gas, and quicksand. The mobile sorts expand the range of creature encounters: jellies serve as stealth ambushers, puddings make fine brutes, and oozes and spore clouds are excellent skirmishers and wandering monsters. Goo is perfect for times when complacent delvers start to assume that everything is snares and orcs . . . and for places too gross for those orcs, like garbage heaps and cesspits (even orcs have standards).

　That said, use goo in moderation if the delvers were led to expect hidden crossbows and stand-up fights – especially if they lack countermeasures like Neutralize Poison spells and corrosion-resistant armor. If every dark corner harbors gear- or flesh-eating gunk, the game will slow to a crawl as the adventurers prod everything with 10’ poles, purify their path with Area spells, and pause to recover the FP. If every chamber is rotten with mold and fungus to weaken the heroes and dissolve their precious stuff, and has a ceiling full of slime to dribble on them mid-battle, the adventure will become a deadly slog. And goo rarely hordes treasure proportional to its danger. Players whose idea of fun is disarming traps, battling dragons, and carrying off loot will find unforeseen goo-fests annoying.

「[[グーのテーマ>グー#Gooey_Themes]]」
--[[L-グーのテーマ>グー#Gooey_Themes]]（Gooey Themes）　p.19

原書表記

　Goo is thematic in some environments, though. If the heroes have been warned to expect it (see Finding a Quest, Dungeons, p. 4; Tavern Tales and Moldy Books, Dungeons, p. 17; and Travel Arrangements, Wilderness Adventures, pp. 20-21), it can be the adventure’s primary threat. The quest may feature a bewildering variety of fungi, molds, and slimes instead of traps; every flavor of jelly, ooze, pudding, and spore cloud as stock monsters; and extra-toxic spore-cloud colonies, powered-up absorptive jellies, and massive ooze ponds as boss fights.

　Where is goo thematic? Lots of places! At the GM’s option, it might be “standard” in certain kinds of locales. If so, anyone with the correct skill – specific Area Knowledge always counts – can make an IQ-based roll to know this in advance.
Some suggestions:

• Filthy sites like dumps and sewers, especially ones with alchemical runoff: Urban Survival.
• Bayous, bogs, fens, marshes, swamps, and other wetlands: Naturalist or Survival (Swampland).
• Graveyards, buildings, or entire cities half-drowned by flooding: Urban Survival.
• Damp dungeons, particular those beneath rivers and lake beds: appropriate Hidden Lore for forgotten labyrinths, Naturalist for warrens, Prospecting for mines, or Survival (Subterranean) for caves.
• Curse-blighted wilderness, where goo feeds on dead flora and fauna: Occultism.
• Weird terrain where giant fungus and villous growths replace trees and grass: no roll needed!
• Locales linked to Elder Things (many of which are huge, intelligent goo): Hidden Lore (Elder Things).

　What else will the delvers find when they arrive?

　Icky mundane stuff. Ordinary mold to spoil rations. Dangly moss to conceal what’s in the trees – and thick algal scum to hide what’s underwater. Stinging plants (Wilderness Adventures, pp. 33-34) and swarming creepy-crawlers (Wilderness Adventures, p. 34) that make life miserable.

　Water-related menaces. Goo is moist. The water comes from rivers and lakes that can drown the unfortunate (Wilderness Adventures, p. 29) or create quicksand and sinkholes (Wilderness Adventures, p. 33). Giant and dire versions
of aquatic creatures like frogs, turtles, and Big Fish may live in it. Underground, water overhead can threaten a cave-in.

　Gross monsters! Monstrous versions of annelids (worms, leeches, leaping leeches, etc.), arachnids (particularly spiders and scorpions), insects, myriapods (’pedes), and terrestrial molluscs as big as slughemoths (Monsters 1, p. 27). Fungoids like crushrooms (Dungeons, p. 22). Atypical slimes such as the erupting (Dungeons, p. 23) and undead (Monsters 1, p. 32) varieties. Ordinary undead, too – they’re rotten, immune to poison, and repellent to goo.

　Random weirdness. Cilia-covered walls, strange biological smells, and so on. The dungeon may well be a “living room”; see Pyramid #3/76: Dungeon Fantasy IV.

「[[グーの戦利品>グー#Gooey_Loot]]」
--[[L-グーの戦利品>グー#Gooey_Loot]]（Gooey Loot）　p.20

原書表記

　Goo doesn’t hoard treasure because it isn’t smart enough to care. Still, if it is capable of killing and doesn’t do so using corrosion damage that dissolves gear, past victims’possessions might be found nearby. Corrosive fungi, yellow molds, and oozes destroy almost everything. Other fungi and molds, and most spore clouds, slay the living to grow on but leave objects intact. Jellies digest only organic matter.
Puddings and flesh-eating slimes eat meat. When in doubt, read the description!

　The location of any surviving swag depends on the goo’s mobility. Fungi, molds, and slimes will be growing on or covering their victims’ bodies and equipment. The delvers must kill the monster and then make a DX-based roll against Poisons to remove it – or against Alchemy, for weirdness like dazzler, lurker, or psychic wailer fungus, or black, blue, or red mold.
Any failure causes effects identical to the dead goo’s attack.

　Jellies digest their prey and spew indigestible items behind them. A Tracking roll can pick up the trail. This might cross half the dungeon, but recent goodies should be strewn along the way . . . one coin or ring or piece of armor at a time. The same trick works for puddings, but as they stay put to eat, the plunder is in one neat pile per victim.

　Oozes dissolve almost everything but orichalcum. Harder gems (like diamonds) can survive as well. To find this stuff, Tracking works just as for a pudding – though the real booty is inevitably at the bottom of an ooze pond.

　Spore clouds aren’t trackable and don’t take up residence on their kill. The spores they deposit on their victims grow into some sort of fungus or mold. The GM can roll randomly or match this as closely as possible to the cloud’s abilities – scholars have never worked out the relationship. Delvers who find glop-coated loot sitting nowhere near other goo may find themselves jumped by spore clouds as they try to recover it!

　Goo can even be loot. Live specimens attack people who try to use them as weapons in their own right. Dead ones – while hazardous to those who handle them – go “splat” and do nothing if hurled at enemies. Yet with suitable reagents, craftsmen in town can turn these organisms into poisons and potions.

　Collecting dead goo requires a Poisons roll if the goal is to sell it as an ingredient for poison (allowed for monsters that do corrosion, fatigue, or toxic damage), a Hazardous Materials (Magical) roll otherwise. Roll once for all goo of each type in an encounter. With the exception of puddings, these creatures are unusually volatile; any failure spoils the sample and means the looter is affected as if attacked.
With puddings, the danger is twitching – failure wastes the corpse, but critical failure also means being “punched” for 4d crushing.

　Success won’t make anybody rich, yielding ingredients that sell for $4 \ (goo’s HP score):
$4 per slime (kids hunt slime with rocks – don’t expect to get rich just because it fell on you).
$4 per square yard of mold.
$8 for a spore cloud (when it settles, there isn’t much left).
$48 for an ooze (but “ooze farmers” can harvest a lot of ooze by strategic halving).
$60-$200 for a jelly.
$80-$600 for a fungus.
$160 for a pudding.

　Every $40 of value weighs 1 lb.

　The stuff’s precise use is deliberately left vague – processing goo requires facilities reserved for guildmasters. However, if someone in town specifically needs red pudding for alchemist’s fire, slippery mold for thieves’ oil, smoker fungus for smoke nageteppo, or whatever, the delvers might be given a quest that pays their choice of the usual cash or double that in kind. For instance, that red pudding might score $160 or three vials of alchemist’s fire, while a smoker fungus gives $80 or four nageteppo.

　Exceedingly rare specimens – powered-up absorptive jellies, spellcasting ooze ponds, gray puddings, etc. – are worth much more. Multiply price by 2d on the open market. If they’re quest objectives, the delvers may receive one-of-a-kind rewards!
