| At first I thought it must be that the Fourth Edition ochre jelly was medium, but it is large just like in Third Edition. Then I thought maybe when it splits it becomes two mediums, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So why is the ochre jelly in the Against the Giants set medium? | |

| | It's so that you can shape a large one any way you like. If it's in a large 2x2 space, it can't form a T, or an L. So, they made them medium and common, like the swarms. :) | |

| | Exactly...I,m with greyhaze.Jellies are formless and can vary it at will.When it shrinks, it is the medium sized one and when it enlarges,it becomes the old archfiends one (and devours a soldier) | |

| Medium and common seems to be a good design choice for swarms and oozes. Flat surfaces was a really good choice for swarms (which have to enter enemy squares).
Have to say I'm very happy with the new Ochre Jelly's design. | |

| | Speaking of swarms, wonder if we'll see more of them soon...I'd love to see a rat swarm and a spider swarm (one that doesn't look like red ants that is) that is flat, medium-sized, and common. | |

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

| | It is viable to use fluorescent paint onto a ochre jelly in order to create a credible green slime? | |

I am going to try to send a purple one to Gencon as a Community Draft prize.

| | Just finished painting four Ochre Jellies as a blue slime. Repaints work like a charm. | |
