Ooze is a creature type used for cards that depict unintelligent, amorphous blobs of slime that exist only to consume whatever falls into their path, getting stronger in the process.

Description

Mechanically, oozes deal primarily in +1/+1 counters, with some other designs reflecting unusual growth or corrosive body properties. The first card to bear the type was Primordial Ooze in Legends. Oozes appear in all colors, except white.

Other examples of Ooze creature cards include Consumptive Goo, Bioplasm, Vile Bile and Acidic Slime.
