I remember a time in an AD&D game I ran where the adventuring party ran into a pit trap. It didn’t have the usual nasty critter or spikes at the bottom; it was full of jello.
Think about it; it’s to thick to swim in, too thin to float to the top & those trapped must either be capable of surviving without air or they’ll drown. Even those amphibious types who can extract oxygen from water can’t breathe jello either. Unless the trapped characters have the appetites of a large herd of elephants, there’s too much jello to eat their way out.
I had no end of fun of repeatedly reminding the players how their characters were killed by ordinary, non-animate jello…
