Animated slimes can morph into common objects for various uses: tables, benches, etc. Some have used them to help furnish the homes of the poor. Some animated slimes have gone rogue, acting as mundane pieces of furniture to lure prey into their clutches.

False Appearance [Object Form Only] (Animated Slime) - Passive
While the animated slime remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.
Occasionally Adhesive [Object Form Only] (Animated Slime) - Bonus Action
The animated slime can use a bonus action to become sticky and adhere to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the animated slime is also grappled by it (escape DC 13). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage. The animated slime can become non-adhesive at any time.
