Giant Slug

Creature 8 — animal

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

These massive, primeval relatives of ordinary slugs squirm slowly through swamps and grasslands. Giant slugs are always voracious and prefer to eat flesh or plants high in water content. They frequently consume livestock or strip bare entire orchards or melon crops. For cattle, pigs, or other sizable meals, they first shred the creatures using their radula-tongue-like appendages covered in teeth- to make them easier to consume. The mucus secreted by a giant slug is powerfully acidic and viscous.

Abilities

No Hearing (auditory) — A giant slug has no auditory senses. It is immune to auditory effects, automatically critically fails Perception checks that require it to hear, and takes a -2 status penalty to Perception checks (but not initiative rolls) that involve sound but also rely on other senses.
Malleable — The giant slug can fit through tight spaces as if it were a Large creature. While Squeezing, it can move at its full Speed. It can Squeeze through spaces that typically fit only a Medium creature, but it does so at the usual Speed for Squeezing.
Mucus — Any creature hit by the giant slug or that moves into its mucus trail is coated in sticky, caustic mucus. It takes 1d4 persistent acid damage and takes a –5-foot status penalty to its Speeds while the damage persists.
Mucus Trail — Any square the giant slug moves into is coated in mucus. These spaces are difficult terrain, and any creature that moves into one or ends its turn in one is subjected to the slug's mucus. After an hour, the mucus dries and the area is no longer difficult terrain.
Trample — Large or smaller, foot, DC 27 Reflex Trample
