Catalytic Oooze
|
Expected threat level: Moderate (TL 15)
A common pest in areas prone to etheric discharge, Catalytic Oozes became an invaluable test specimen for alchemists once their peculiar properties were better understood. They've developed a reputation in learned circles as a bane for incautious experimenters, as an inadequately contained Catalytic Ooze can quickly become a lethal hazard if loosed in a well-stocked laboratory.

Special Features
Incorporate Substance. If a Catalytic Ooze engulfs a liquid or gas (potions, oil, alcohol, Assassin's Poisons, Plague Doctor's Concoctions, etc.), it incorporates it. If it engulfs a creature carrying an applicable object, it incorporates one at random. If it passes over a pool of liquid or through a cloud of gas, it incorporates what it passes through, leaving a cleared area in its wake if there is not enough surrounding substance to fill it in.
Actions
Engulf (Movement). As part of a Movement Action, the Ooze may attempt to engulf a creature no more than one size larger than itself. The target creature must make a Precision Check, target 1d10+6. If it succeeds, it is pushed to the nearest open space. If it fails, it is engulfed inside the Ooze.
Slam. (Melee attack, 5ft. range, 1 target, +3 bonus to hit). Deals 1d4 Bludgeoning Damage + 1 Acidic Damage.
- Engulfed Creatures take 1 Acidic Damage at the start of their turn.
- Engulfed Creatures are considered Grappled (though the Ooze does not suffer a Speed penalty), move with the Ooze, and begin to suffocate.
- An Engulfed Creature can use an Action to make a Might Check, target 1d10+6, to escape. The Ooze may only Engulf one Creature at a time.

Catogens
Expected threat level: Low (TL 10)
Adorable, bundles of blight, slime and sometimes bone, all in a feline package; Catogens are gelatinous cat-like entities constructed around repurposed...organic matter. A perfect familiar for that necromancer looking for a hypoallergenic companion, just mind the scratches, no telling what you’ll get from that. They come in a variety of colours, which may be indicative of what infection they carry. Designed by Clair.
