# the blob is a vacuum cleaner type of object -
# it doesn't do any damage, but sucks up objects -
# it also moves fairly fast.  Because it has no
# danger, it can be put on any map.
# Note - reduced speed to 1.0 - this is still likely to
# be faster than any low level characters.

lore
Originally the creation of some long-forgotten wizard, blobs roam dungeons picking up whatever they move atop. Speedy and cowardly, they often snatch up items from under adventurers' noses and scurry off with them.
Many scholars theorize blobs were created to help transport goods of some sort, though the specifics of what and why vary widely. Whatever the case, they are not affected by charm spells, so it is unclear how blobs were put to use in the service of wizards in the first place.
