> ***Adhesive.*** The goolem adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the goolem is also grappled by it (escape DC 15). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.
>
> ***Amorphous.*** The goolem can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
>
> ***Grappler.*** The goolem has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.
> 
> ***Spider Climb.*** The goolem can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
>
> ***Sticky.*** When a creature hits the goolem with a melee weapon attack, the attacker must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw, or the weapon becomes stuck to the goolem. If the weapon's wielder can't or won't let go of the weapon, the wielder is grappled while the weapon is stuck. While stuck, the weapon can't be used. A creature can pull the weapon free by taking an action and succeeding on a DC 15 Strength check.
>
> ### Actions
> ***Multiattack.*** The goolem makes two attacks.
> 
> ***Pseudopod.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit* 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
>
> ### Reactions
> 
> ***Split.*** When a goolem that is Medium or larger is subjected to slashing damage, it splits into two new goolems if it has at least 10 hit points. Each new goolem has hit points equal to half the original goolem's, rounded down. New goolems are one size smaller than the original goolem.

***Made Out of Glue.*** Many apothecaries and tradesmen will tell you that the goolem was the inspiration for the creation of sovereign glue, or that their sovreign glue is made from 100% pure goolem. The truth of this matter is such: farming goolems is just too awkward to be financially sensible. Any tools a farmer might try to use to farm the super sticky substance that the goolem is made of is guaranteed to get stuck, as is the farmer. Unless it is kept in a sealed container, the goolem will squeeze its way out, and because it is much faster than most other known oozes, and much larger than most other oozes too, it is terribly difficult to try and catch, and store.

***Stuck on You.*** Naturally occuring goolems are often found near pools of magical waste, though they seek out relatively clean areas to live in. Due to their adhesive nature, they seek clean living and hunting spaces since they often find themselves adhering to their surroundings, or with their surroundings adhered to them. As such, areas full of debris and detritus are undesirable and inconvenient. However, it is this adhesiveness that allows the goolem to walk up and across surfaces that most creatures wouldn't be able to, and the reason why a direct physical assault on a goolem is warned against.
