Ingest is nice, it makes a nice correlation with Devour; when you eat your food so fast you don't even taste it you devour it, when you take the time to enjoy that feeling of getting full you ingest. :)

I don't know if I said it or not yet, but nice call on the Goo. Every good RPG-type game needs a blob element, whether it's Red Slime or Gelatinous Cube. And the mechanism you've got to go with it is perfect - I picture a huge nameless black ooze slowly absorbing/devouring/swallowing its prey...ew. Being digested alive FTW!

EDIT: just made a quick trip to wikipedia to get a more precise idea on ingest, and I was pleasantly surprised -> Wiki Article on Ingestion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingestion).

Nice changes! But I have a question: what happens when Goo ingests another Goo which has already devoured something else? Is the original ability (that is, Ingest) ingested? Or is the "gooed" ability ingested instead?

yeesh, uuuh, it'd gain +1|+1 and get ingest again, but that is a rather expensive way to grow a creature, it'be better to ingest otyugh

I was more concerned with which ability would be ingested from the devoured Goo (with new ability) than whether or not it's a good idea to ingest another Goo. Although I hadn't thought of ingesting Otyugh. Good call.
