	This 10 by 10 room is exactly the right size: gelatinous cube.
A huge gleaming cube the length and height of the hall squishes toward you.

Miss Message(s):

The cube slides forward misses by a country mile fWhew! what a relief!

It lurches at you, but you deftly leap aside, and out of harm's way..

Its attack attempt is unsophisticated stupid, rube-ish cube.

It rolls toward you, but you duck down a side hall and don't get crushed/wet.

A wet pseudopod arches out and hits the wall just behind your throat.

Notes

• There exists a familiar version of this enemy.
• The orcish meat locker, rusty metal ring, and rusty metal shaft are conditional drops that will not drop if you already have one of them in your inventory. For example, if you have just a rusty metal shaft in your inventory, then the locker and ring may still drop, but the shaft cannot.

References

• The miss message about a "rube-ish cube" is a reference to the Rubik's Cube.
