Zol & Gel
Zols are blobs of green go, seeking the detritus of dungeons. Wherever they go, they leave a clean floor behind.
Zol & Gel Lore
Effortless (DC 4)
Zol & Gel make their homes in caves, dungeons, and other underground spaces with lots of detritus to eat. If you find yourself in a dungeon and the floors are clean, be on the lookout for Zol!
Novice (DC 7)
While Gel are most often seen by cutting a Zol in two, clever dungeon-designers will sometimes use them on their lonesome. With their ability to slow Heroes down, Gel can be deadly when working in concert with other traps.
Journeyman (DC 10)
Adventurous homemakers have tried to domesticate Zol for ages, with no success. The little slime-bags have a habit of ‘cleaning’ anything that they find - whether asked to or not.
Zol
Zol aren’t known for their heavy damage output, but they are known for getting in the way quite effectively. They use their Body Check Technique to bounce foes around. Beware their Kyameron’s Splash spell if you’re also fighting electric foes!
When struck, a single Zol will split into two Gels. The only way to prevent this is to kill the Zol in a single decisive blow.

Gel
Gels don’t usually attempt to harm foes. Instead, they prefer to Grapple foes to slow them down, and hope that other monsters will finish off their prey.
