Boot Grabber

Boot grabbers are ooze-like aberrant creatures that lie in wait for approaching prey on the floors of dank dungeons, overgrown ruins, and dark caverns.

Deadly Ambushers
Its transparent, amorphous body means a boot grabber is easily mistaken for a puddle or patch of wet rock, allowing the creature to strike with surprise and grab hold of its victim’s legs or feet with its strong hand-shaped appendages. The boot grabber can lure a creature that is reluctant to approach by emitting an unearthly, high-frequency sound. Once it has seized its target, the boot grabber secretes a strong adhesive to stop the hapless creature from pulling free and continues to crush its foe’s lower limbs. When the victim finally ceases struggling, the boot grabber flows over the helpless victim’s body to start consuming it.
