| Reference | monst.c#line518 |
The ochre jelly, j, is a slimy monster that appears in NetHack. They are the only non-sessile j in the monster class.
Like other jellies, they have a dangerous passive attack - the ochre jelly's passive is acidic and can corrode iron or copper objects. Unlike other jellies, however, in addition to being mobile, it can engulf a player and cover them with acidic slime; the engulfing attack does not corrode objects, despite being acidic.
Strategy
Ochre jellies are quite slow, so you can easily run away if you aren't prepared to handle them. Their passive acid attack does a fixed 3d6 damage, as opposed to the (level+1)d6 that one finds on monsters such as spotted and blue jellies, making their passive much less dangerous in comparison. Like most solid engulfing monsters, a wand of digging or spell of dig will immediately free you and reduce their HP to 1.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, the engulfing attack can now corrode objects in open inventory, including your alignment key.
