II-19: Don't Be Efreet, It's Only A Djinn, annotations

Page 19

 

Djinn: no reference to their wish-granting abilities of myth. A powerful ally who can create food and drink, as well as carry heavy loads and fight as a whirlwind. 

Efreet: with regard to OD&D, these are basically Chaotic Djinn. 

Ochre Jellies: basically the 1958 movie monster “The Blob” statted out for OD&D. A fun monster to throw at an adventuring party. This monster also introduces us to the “clean up crew,” a group of underworld scavengers keeping the dungeons free of corpses and offal (and sometimes live adventurers). 

Black (or Gray) Puddings: another blob-like creature, with different vulnerabilities than the Ochre Jelly.
