With the discovery of the incredible gelatinous explosive called pyronite, it was perhaps inevitable alchemical monstrosities made of the stuff would soon follow. So-called pyronite oozes sometimes spontaneously manifest from stockpiles of pyronite or other powerful explosives, typically amid mana storms or when affected by powerful magic. Pyronite oozes have an extremely unstable life cycle and are defined by their ability to continuously explode and reform themselves. A pyronite ooze's violen

Abilities
Tremorsense (Imprecise) 60 feet — Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.
Constant Explosions (aura, fire) — 5 feet. 4d6 fire, DC 29 Reflex. This aura can't cause other pyronite oozes to split.
Rejoin — If two or more Medium pyronite oozes end their turn in adjacent spaces, they merge into a Large pyronite ooze, combining their current Hit Points.
Split — When a Large pyronite ooze is hit by an attack that would deal bludgeoning or fire damage and it has 10 or more HP, it explodes, dealing 6d6 fire damage to creatures in a 10-foot emanation{10-foot radius} (DC 29 Reflex). This explosion can't cause other pyronite oozes to split. After exploding, the ooze splits into two Medium pyronite oozes, each with half the original's HP, which each fly through the air and land 15 feet from the original ooze in a random direction. If no space is unoccupied where the ooze would land, it automatically pushes creatures and objects out of the way to fill a space (the GM decides if an object or creature is too big or sturdy to push).
Exploding Split —
WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLAND / VERTICALWhile the ooze's explosive aura and split deter close engagement, a Sniper picks off targets at range without triggering the cold weakness.
WeaverLAND / VERTICALA Weaver pulls enemies adjacent to the ooze, forcing them to suffer the constant explosion aura and the threat of a triggered split.
FlankerLAND / VERTICALEnemies forced to spread out against the ooze's explosions create flanking opportunities for a mobile ally to exploit.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ melee proximity✖ standing still
Stacking multiple explosive Anvils saturates the battlefield with fire hazards and limits repositioning space for allies.
