They yearn to destroy any place that is not the Plane of Shadow. \n'b'  Liquid Shadow . When some of the Plane of Shadow leaks into another world, it animates into one or more shadow oozes. These creatures despise living in a place that is not the Plane of Shadow and seek to consume almost any other creature they come across. This need to consume drives the oozes. Instinct tells them that if they grow large enough, they can cover the world in darkness and transform it into a second Plane of Shadow. If the ooze is sent back to the Plane of Shadow, it rejoins with the essence of that plane and no longer exists as an ooze. \n'b'  Guards of Shadow Fey . Shadow oozes show no interest in devouring  shadow fey . As a result,  shadow fey  use shadow oozes to serve as guardians of their greatest treasures and most hidden fortresses.
