Recognition (DF2, p. 9). You don't even need to roll to identify a common natural creature found in your setting (Animals, Hybrids, Plants, Slimes, and other Mundane creatures). Roll against Naturalist for exotic versions of natural creatures.

Large oozes may seem exotic to us, but if they're common in the setting people will just know about them and be able to generally recognize them, the same way they know about other natural life.
