In Telugu, this is often remembered as "Jigina Paducha Jantu" (The Sticky Creature). This episode terrified Telugu kids because the monster absorbed people into its gooey body. The Telugu dubbing amplified the squishing sound effects, making it unforgettable.

This is the million-dollar question. The availability of the Telugu dub is scarce due to licensing issues and the decay of old broadcast masters. Here is the current status:
