The amoeboids are the blobs, puddings, and oozes:

All these monster can pass under the doors, which makes them very annoying if you try to run away. However, they are slow. All of them save the quivering blob and the green slime have a passive attack and are acidic.

Encyclopedia entry

These giant amoeboid creatures look like nothing more than

puddles of slime, but they both live and move, feeding on

metal or wood as well as the occasional dungeon explorer to

supplement their diet.



But we were not on a station platform. We were on the track ahead

as the nightmare, plastic column of fetid black iridescence oozed

tightly onward through its fifteen-foot sinus, gathering unholy

speed and driving before it a spiral, re-thickening cloud of the

pallid abyss vapor. It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster

than any subway train -- a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic

bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes

forming and unforming as pustules of greenish light all over the

tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic

penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its

kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.
