"Details on when oozing is possible."
Amorphous monster cannot be caught in bear traps[2][3] or webs.[4][5]. They are also not harmed by rocks or boulders from a scroll of earth[6][7], nor by the beheading effect of a Vorpal Blade.[8][9]. If amorphous, you can not be effectively punished,[10] and polyselfing into an amorphous monster undoes any punishment.[11]
Amorphous monsters may "ooze" (or, in the case of yellow lights and fog clouds, "flow"[12]) under a door, if not carrying too much.[13]
