Sewer Ooze

Creature 1 — mindless, ooze

AnvilLANDoozeacidmindless

These amorphous masses of sewage and other detritus make their way through filthy culverts beneath cities large and small. Slimes, molds, and other oozes can be found in dank dungeons and shadowed forests. While not necessarily evil, some grow to enormous sizes and have insatiable appetites.

Abilities

Motion Sense 60 feet — A sewer ooze can sense nearby motion through vibration and air movement.
Filth WaveFrequency once per minute

Effect The sewer ooze unleashes a wave of filth, covering all creatures in a 20-foot emanation. Each creature in the area must succeed at a DC 17 Reflex save or take 1d4 acid damage and take a –10-foot penalty to its Speeds for 1 minute (on a critical failure, the creature also falls Prone).

A creature can spend an Interact action to clean someone off, decreasing the Speed penalty by 5 feet with each action.

WORKS WELL WITH

SnareLANDA controller that clusters foes together lets this ooze's area attack catch more of the party at once.
FlankerLANDA mobile striker can freely engage this ooze's low AC while its immunity to precision damage limits any single striker's burst.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker keeps chipping at this ooze's high Fortitude without stepping into its acid pseudopod's reach.

PUNISHES

✖ clumping✖ precision or critical-hit reliance✖ low Reflex saves
Avoid pairing with another low-AC mindless body; stacked oozes add little challenge without a stronger threat behind them.
