A liquescence is a mindless creature of instinct with few predators on its native plane. Though sightless, it has evolved a psychic ability to sense living creatures in its vicinity.

The chemical makeup of their biological acids has resulted in an active secondary market in infiltration, weapon, and cleaning industries. Some unscrupulous planar travelers use liquescences as living traps or hazards that require only periodic feeding to keep alive.
