Giant Amoeba

Creature 1 — amphibious, mindless, ooze

AnvilLANDAQUATICVERTICALoozeacidmindless

These blobs of nearly transparent protoplasm are identical in form and behavior to the microscopic creatures from which they have evolved, except their outlandish size makes them all the more dangerous. Unlike slimes, puddings, and other deadly oozes, giant amoebas have an outer membrane that contains their internal structures, making them more susceptible to slashing weapons than their amorphous kin. However, this membrane is also extremely flexible and permeable, allowing them to surround prey

Abilities

Motion Sense — A giant amoeba can sense nearby creatures through vibration and air or water movement.
Constrict — 1d4 bludgeoning plus 1d4 acid{1d4 bludgeoning plus 1d4 acid}, DC 17 Fortitude

The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC.
Envelop
Weak Acid — A giant amoeba's acid damages only organic material-not metal, stone, or other inorganic substances.
Grab

WORKS WELL WITH

SniperLAND / AQUATIC / VERTICALA ranged attacker can safely finish a target the amoeba has already grabbed and constricted in melee.
FlankerLAND / AQUATIC / VERTICALA mobile skirmisher can reposition freely since the amoeba's immunity to precision damage wastes sneak-style tactics on it instead.
WeaverLAND / AQUATIC / VERTICALA debuffer lowering Fortitude saves compounds the constrict damage on a target the amoeba already has Grabbed.
