Gelatinous cupola

A is a tier 7 creature belonging to the oozes faction. It can be found deep underground, or within the.

Gelatinous cupolas attack by moving close to their target and engulfing them when the cupola is within an adjacent tile. While engulfing a target, a cupola will inhabit the same tile as the creature it is engulfing, and will remain completely stationary. Engulfed creatures will suffer 4-7 damage every round and will be unable to move; attempting to move will instead cause the creature to perform a melee attack against the cupola. Additionally, the creature will be unable to perform certain physical actions, such as Charge, Juke, and Jump. Creatures who are being engulfed by a gelatinous cupola cannot be attacked by other creatures, and any attempting to do so will instead target the gelatinous cupola.

A gelatinous cupola will continue to engulf its target until either it or its victim dies. However, the victim can escape being engulfed prematurely through means such as Teleportation or becoming out-of-phase.

Melting Through the Floor
When a gelatinous cupola engulfs a creature, a timer is started that begins at 10 and decrements by 1 each round. When the timer reaches 0, the gelatinous cupola and its victim will forcibly descend from their current strata level by 1 strata. The creature will still be engulfed by the cupola upon landing. If the player is the engulfed creature, the following popup message will be displayed:

This process creates a in the tile where the cupola melted through the floor. There is no limit to how many times this can occur; however, a gelatinous cupola cannot melt through the floor if an obstacle is present in the strata level below, such as a wall or other impassable object.
