If a lammasu, an androsphinx, a guardian naga, and a couahtl all sat down together and had a chat, I wonder what they would talk about? All four can be found to guard important relics or sites in service of divine beings, and they don't get out much, so would they talk shop, or just complain about dense, short-sighted adventurers mucking up things?
I wish i had an ooze pet, no matter how bad i cook oit will eat what i serve and even ask for seconds. It's a good pet for if you start learning to cook as any bad batches can just be given to it instead of being thrown away
You know AJ, with how many videos you already have in your catalogue it always amazes me when I see you coming out with new content on a regular basis. Adding this one to my 500 video playlist of your vids to listen to as I fall asleep. Greatest DnD content archive on the internet.
Haha, I'm imagining a party walking through an ethereal forest, an ooze falls on top of their physical body, rolls away, but the person's spirit is still there, looking at their friends like nothing happened
7:45 sounds like a natural predator of phase spiders and other ethereal plane natives. Imagine a party of adventurers running into an ethereal filcher or phase spider whose distressed because they were escaping one and it running away from something the party can't see on their plane
I like the combination of gelatinous cube and clay golum (golum healing in cubes acid) Ethereal Ooze and a magically enchanted clay golum might be interesting.
@@AJPickett Not a Banshee but a bunch of screaming agony that does wisdom damage from wailing. To up the anti, Ethereal Ooze creates or reinforces Ethereal location of haunted sites. So if the n/PC manage to .. swim .. out the ooze, it becomes "out of the frying pan to the fire" situation. Depending on the ooze/slim .. acid .. makeup, a bottle of vinegar would be a nasty surprise. Polymorph doesn't work on ooze/slims because they are not a single creature but a colony of lesser creatures. So the psychic energy release from a single being dying will be different when hearing the death screams of millions of being dying at once from a splash of vinegar.
Lammasu are weirdly underrepresented in wotc properties. There's like 3 of them in magic the gathering but their lore makes them sound amazingly important. "Lammasu are the enigmatic travelers of Tarkir, soaring high above all lands in all seasons. None know their true purpose, but they often arrive on the eve of great conflicts or turning points in history." "The lammasu ruled the velds before the city grew. Now they roam Ravnica’s skies, but their ancient enemies have not forgotten them."
Deep down, wizards know that the fire elemental you summoned has been captured and devoured by a living echo of the wolf-spider while he was going back home. The wolf-spider doesn't know the elemental has been cooked with necrotic energy that will give him a zombie-stomach for weeks. Deep down, the wizard giggles
I think we can all agree that Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast are complete idiots when it comes to D&D. They wouldn't know how to write fiction if they had artificial intelligence to write it for them.
The Mulan people of Faerun can trace many of their bloodline to Earth around that time, where they were magically kidnapped and taken to Toril... coincidence that the Lammasu were around? Maybe.
Its like, the perfect background music for my content. Use it all the time, nobody complains, never been an issue, and I never get sick of it, this could literally be playing 24/7 in the sky and I would be like "Good, I was sick of the sound of wind"
Is there any or much lore behind the three-armed Athach creature? I haven't seen any videos about it on TH-cam. And it's not even in any of the 5th edition material
I just checked and I can't find anything aside from 2 fan pictures. Someone claimed it was in the DMG but I've checked 5th, 4th, and 3.5 ed for that word as well as checking the page they claimed it was on and nothing of the sort showed up.
I used a combination of Midjourney and Llama and Chatgpt to put together the additional images of the ooze, as I only found the one image of it in official sources
I just got the answer to the pressing existential question about what happens when you have too many gummy bears before bed
😂 hilarious 😆

I'd buy that "deeply nerdy" dice logo as a shirt, please (with all my love) shut up & take my money!
Addendum: Please never shut up, I so love your lore/ecology videos ❤

That is essentially EXACTLY what it looks like.
Great way to explain a player missing some sessions.

I appreciate the scolding of that supposed "sage" lol
Not since Volo have I held such professional loathing for a man.
It is 3am and I cannot sleep. Too busy in the corner thinking of what I have done. You were right. I needed to reflect a little.
17:00 I will eye all Jello with suspicion from now on 🙂
14:27 definitely want a video on these fellows. Never even heard of them before
Bless the Mighty GlueStick
FINALLY! It has been so long since anyone has even addressed the ethergaunts! Thank you AJ Pickett.
Let’s go I’m on lunch tell me about the nightmare ghost Jello
This is a really good homebrew template. It could be used for anything. Really adds the 'A' to 'Morphous'.
It would be, I should mention that the Ethereal Ooze is official content though, but, I am sure you know that.
@@AJPickett I figured; it just simultaneously reminded me of several sci-fi/horror authors. Much like the False Hydra.
I really should have had something like this hanging around the last time I ran the party against Night Hags.
Empty?........ boarder plains are never empty!
You're right it's not empty. The heads of the Wazis are empty.
A nice airy treat for lunch today! Compliments to the chef :D
I like the combination of gelatinous cube and clay golum (golum healing in cubes acid)
Ethereal Ooze and a magically enchanted clay golum might be interesting.
If an ethereal ooze is made of Ethereal matter.... can it be full of Wraiths?

I appreciate the new stuff on slimes oozes🎉
if we haven't gotten a video on the Lammasu already I feel we deserve one now
Lammasu are weirdly underrepresented in wotc properties. There's like 3 of them in magic the gathering but their lore makes them sound amazingly important.
"Lammasu are the enigmatic travelers of Tarkir, soaring high above all lands in all seasons. None know their true purpose, but they often arrive on the eve of great conflicts or turning points in history."
"The lammasu ruled the velds before the city grew. Now they roam Ravnica’s skies, but their ancient enemies have not forgotten them."
They are a powerful civilisation, I will seek their permission for a video on them.
@AJPickett ask them how they style their beards without hands
@@zacharyweaver276 Their paws are prehensile, they manipulate objects with the tips of their claws with admirable agility.
@@AJPickett amazing

Oh nuu. AJ had to get out the dunce cap for the 5e devs. XD
16:17 ok these sound awesome definitely deserve a video. Also perfect creature for why there aren't thousands of ghosts over taking the world
PANR has tuned in.
Ghost ooze!
I think we can all agree that Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast are complete idiots when it comes to D&D. They wouldn't know how to write fiction if they had artificial intelligence to write it for them.
NEEDED THIS ♥️ for my ethereal dungeon
Good job boss man never stop I always look forward to seeing these
Thanks! Will do!
This was super interesting
Thanks AJ
Hello Aj. If you're open to video requests. May I suggest the dakon from 2e?
The Dakon of Calimshan's jungles? SureI Lovely folks.
@@AJPickett yes so much great lore it's a crime they aren't in newer editions
Yes, please.
More on the ethereal plane 😊
Ghostwalk Mentioned!
Always happy to see more diversity in dnd oozes!
Lammasu were even on Earth in Ancient Mesopatomia.
Wonder what the were up to there 🤔
The Mulan people of Faerun can trace many of their bloodline to Earth around that time, where they were magically kidnapped and taken to Toril... coincidence that the Lammasu were around? Maybe.
Thanks for the video AJ
No problem 👍
DIABLO!!! move me some tristram

Very well done
Thank you very much!
maybe saying the ethereal plane is empty is supposed to add to its mysterious charm
Thats what i need ghost slime! Gelatinous cube that pases through wall! 😅
do I sense a bit of disdain for the radiant citadel?
great vide as always
Just for the misinformation about the lore of the plane itself.

I'll find it.
good video AJ
Thank you Chris
Thank you Chris

Does anyone know what AI he uses to make all these? I want to use it to make stuff for my games ;-; they're so good.
