Larian, please fix: Ochre Jelly should not have a ranged attack

[Nightfall29]

Per 5E, Ochre Jelly should not have a ranged attack ability, much less one with a small AoE.

Please fix this Larian.

In 5e 2014 D&D rules, Ochre Jelly is an ooze that's yellowish in color. In 5e 2014 rules, it can hit, squeeze through anything with a 1-inch gap, and upon specific damage, split but doesn't have a ranged attack or AoE.

Larian homebrewed some changes to the Ochre Jelly monster. It can't split or squeeze through gaps, but it has a ranged attack and AoE. It's just a reskinned acid thrower/spitter in BG3. This is by homebrew design and will not be "fixed".

I don't know what 5e 2024 (releasing in 2025) Ochre Jelly will be.

Where does one encounter this ochre jelly? I’m sincerely curious, never seen it.
