Gorgon mud

Gorgon mud, referred to in Jotun as fjellblod by the stone giant thane Kayalithica, was a variety of magical mud that carried a petrification effect.
==Description==
This substance was described by some as being viscous and green, forming pockets within areas of soft ground.
==Properties==
This substance behaved similar to quicksand, gradually dragging victims down into it. When a sinking creature became immersed in gorgon mud, it would become subject to petrification.
Gorgon mud radiated a detectable aura of transmutation magic. When removed from its pool, the substance's magical properties became inert.
==Availability==
* Gorgon mud could be found within various alcoves of Deadstone Cleft, where it long acted as a defensive measure for the stone giants that lived there.
* Beyond the Prime Material plane, it was not uncommon to encounter gorgon mud in the Elemental Chaos and in Molor, the 528 layer of the Abyss ruled by Juiblex.
