A purple ooze can grow to a diameter of up to 15 feet and a thickness of about 18 inches. A typical specimen weighs about 1200 pounds.

Combat

A purple ooze strikes like a monstrous wave, slamming opponents with its body.

Acid (Ex): A purple ooze secretes a digestive acid that quickly dissolves organic material and stone, but not metal. Any melee hit or constrict attack deals acid damage. Stone, leather and clothing dissolves and becomes useless immediately unless it succeeds on a DC 18 Reflex save. A stone or wooden weapon that strikes a purple ooze also dissolves immediately unless it succeeds on a DC 18 Reflex save. The save DCs are Constitution-based.

The ooze’s acidic touch deals 25 points of damage per round to wooden, cloth and leather objects, but the ooze must remain in contact with the object for 1 full round to deal this damage.

Constrict (Ex): A purple ooze deals automatic slam and acid damage with a successful grapple check. The opponent’s clothing, wood and leather armor take a –4 penalty on Reflex saves against the acid.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a purple ooze must hit with its slam attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.

Transparent (Ex): A purple ooze is hard to identify, even under ideal conditions, and it takes a DC 15 Spot check to notice one. Creatures who fail to notice a purple ooze and walk into it are automatically hit with a melee attack for slam and acid damage. It resembles a gray ooze, but with a lightly translucent purple surface.

Attack from Below (Ex): A purple ooze can attack from below by slithering into the floor below the target, and dissolving the stone or wood that the target stands upon, sending them splashing into the purple ooze.

Pool (Ex): Multiple oozes can join up, forming a larger specimen. This is especially deadly when used with the attack from below ability, creating large flows and moats that surround their prey.

The gelatinous rug spreads ‘cross floors.
The gelatinous blob sit in piles.
The gelatinous door coats normal doors.

Will you stick to the floor?
Can they be a rubber band?
Can they get through your pores?

Yes.

The nearly transparent gelatinous rug lies in wait along dungeon corridors and cave floors, absorbing wastes and pests. Inorganic material remains trapped and visible inside the rug’s body.

Most gelatinous rugs are 15 feet long and 6 inches thick, weighing half a ton, though much larger specimens are possible.

Combat

A gelatinous rug attacks by curling its body into prey stick to its center. The fringed ends of the rug then link together, engulfing unwitting creatures in a tight, suffocating maw.

Acid (Ex): A gelatinous rug’s acid does not harm metal or stone.

Engulf (Ex): Gelatinouss rugs move slowly, and often not for long periods of time. It cannot make a slam attack during a round in which it engulfs. The gelatinous rug merely has to move over the opponents, affecting as many as it can cover. Opponents can make attacks of opportunity against the rug, but if they do so they are not entitled to a saving throw. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity must succeed on a DC 13 Reflex save or be stick to the rug; on a success, they must move to the back or side (opponent’s choice) as the rug moves forward. Stuck creatres are likely to be engulfed during the rug’s next action. Engulfed creatures are subject to the rug’s paralysis and acid, and are considered to be grappled and trapped within its body. The save DC is Strength-based and includes a +1 racial bonus.

Paralysis (Ex): A gelatinous rug secretes an anesthetizing slime. A target hit by a rug’s melee or engulf attack must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d6 rounds. The rug can automatically engulf a paralyzed opponent. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Transparent (Ex): Gelatinous rugs are hard to see, even under ideal conditions, and it takes a DC 15 Spot check to notice one. Creatures who fail to notice a rug and walk onto it are automatically stuck.

Most gelatinous doors are sized as normal doors, but some are double doors and other edifices.
