Crunch: weapons thrown at spotted jellies also trigger the passive attack. the text says "if attacked directly in melee" but that is correct for the Hero but not the weapon.

-While very damaging when attacked in melee, spotted jellies are [[sessile]], so acid resistance is rarely needed for most heroes: the jellies can be easily killed with wands, spells, disposable missiles, or any other [[ranged attack]] such as an [[aklys]], [[lance]] or any [[polearm]] - the jelly will corrode vulnerable weapons even if attacked at a distance, so be careful with metallic weapons and use rustproofed ones if necessary. The [[ochre jelly]] is generally more dangerous than a spotted jelly, since it can move (albeit slowly) and [[engulf]] you.
+While spotted jellies are very damaging when attacked in melee, their immobility renders acid resistance unnecessary for most heroes: the jellies can be easily killed with wands, spells, disposable missiles, or any other [[ranged attack]] such as an [[aklys]], [[lance]] or any [[polearm]] - the jelly will corrode vulnerable weapons even if attacked at a distance, so be careful with metallic weapons and use rustproofed ones if necessary. The [[ochre jelly]] is generally more dangerous than a spotted jelly, since it can move (albeit slowly) and [[engulf]] you.
 Spotted jellies can be nasty obstacles for pets and polyforms with multiple attacks - pets should be kept out of range if at all possible, especially if a [[magic whistle]] or similar item is available. [[Mind flayer]] pets in particular are especially vulnerable to passives like that of the spotted jelly, and a character keeping one may consider an [[alchemy smock]], [[yellow dragon scales]], or [[yellow dragon scale mail]] for them.
