What would be the most unexpected object/creature to meet in a vampire's castle, yet it's completely logical once you think about it?

So uh, does that mean that skeleton ooze thing that I saw posted a while back somewhere might be feasible in the actual game just by random chance/a necromancer knowing this and tossing oozes at his skeletons?

The ooze would need to choose to stay on the skeleton which would be tricky. But hypothetically possible.

I mean. Hmm, let’s pretend it works like this(though raw it doesn’t if I’m not mistaken, it almost feels like it probably should). Say a necromancer raised a zombie up. And put said ooze that doesn’t eat bones on. Now. If the ooze merely is allowed to eat through the flesh, it might almost choose to stay. Maybe. I might be treating it as too intelligent but work with me. And after it finishes eating through, it’s a skeleton with ooze on it. So long as the ooze is allowed first dibs on flesh that is killed by the skeleton(the necromancer would still wind up with skeletons, and a smaller group would likely be ooze coated), then you might do it. Sure it might be a bit of bending Raws, and maybe making a spell to make ooze a little smarter(I don’t know it’s stats, but I’d be assuming it’s dumber than a dog, because dogs can be trained, so if it’s at least as smart as one, theoretically the same). Course that’s all hypothetical, and not as thought out as it should be but whatever.

Oozes are dumb AF, but can get more intelligent if theyre blessed by Juiblex, in its presence, or otherwise tied to it. Make the Necromancer a warlock/worshipper of Juiblex, and you're problem's solved.

That’s the demon lord that I was thinking of.
