The spotted jelly is a sessile acidic monster that appears in NetHack. As with the blue jelly, it possesses solely an (acidic) passive attack; its damage is based on monster level. Being acidic, its passive attack can also corrode iron weapons and armor. Unlike the blue jelly, it does not split or provide any helpful intrinsics.

Strategy

While very damaging when attacked in melee, spotted jellies are sessile, and can be easily killed with wands, disposable missiles, or an aklys if necessary. Pets, especially ones with multiple attacks, should be kept out of range.
