(0.21 update. Non-Jiyva jellies haven't eaten items for almost two years now. The monster info on the right may still be wrong, it shows the "eats_items" attribute.)
(Undo revision 47372 by Slobodan (talk) accidentally removed monsterinfo (which is wrong, by the way))

A pulsating mass of acidic protoplasm. It can and will eat almost anything, growing and splitting as it does so.

“Beware of the Blob!
It creeps
And leaps
and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall,
A splotch, a blotch...”

Useful Info

Jellies are rather weak creatures that introduce the player to the concept of corrosion, a stackable debuff which inflicts a negative slaying bonus and an AC penalty.

Followers of Jiyva will have a frustrating time with the jellies their god provides. These jellies have a special appetite for items lying around the dungeon floor and will devour anything except artefact items.

Tips & Tricks

  • If at all possible, you should fight jellies using ranged attacks to avoid their acid.
  • Wearing a ring of resist corrosion or another source of rCorr will greatly reduce the chance of corrosion, as well as the damage you sustain.

History

  • Prior to 0.19, jellies would eat items on the ground that the player had not seen even if the player was not worshiping Jiyva.
  • Prior to 0.17, jellies would also eat items on the ground that the player had seen.
  • Prior to 0.15, jellies were notorious for permanently weakening weapons and armour used in combat against them. The corrosion overhaul changed this.
  • Prior to 0.14, jellies would not split no matter how many items they consumed.
  • Prior to 0.13, jellies were more durable and hit harder, but only had speed 9.
