History Characters / PathfinderOozes

* DemonicPosession: They can't seize control of a body, but the host can choose to give it up. Usually this only happens with unwilling hosts as it promises to relieve the burning pain of its possession if they give up control.

* HollywoodAcid: They can spray acid that damages both creatures and their equipment. The fact that this ability is an immediate action and has no cooldown makes it easy for a sewer blight to spam this ability every round in addition to their normal attacks and spells.

* PoisonIsCorrosive: They can spit globs of acidic poison and their stings inject "toxic acid."

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: When a blight has successfully cleansed an area, it will inevitably turn on its allies and minions. Smart enough allies will cut and run when it gets down to the end play, reaping all the rewards of their alliance but avoiding their eventual wrath.

* HostileTerraforming: The essence of what blights do.
* NoSell: To acid in addition to usual ooze immunities.
* PlayingAgainstType: Where oozes tend to have low AC due to their liquid nature, blights have a layer of hardened protoplasm to make them tougher. Where oozes are largely unintelligent or primitive in their intelligence, blights are cunning enough to rival dragons. In pretty much every area, a blight defies the usual expectations of an ooze.

* KillItWithIce: Their cursed domain is considered colder than it should be, making it harder to cast fire magic and causing penalties to saves against cold effects. Considering its offensive spells are all cold based and its

* MagmaMan: The name 'magma ooze' should probably have made that obvious.

* PoisonIsCorrosive: They can spit globs of acidic poison.

* {{Transflormation}}: Their attacks can slowly transform the flesh of their enemies into immobile wood. If their victims are completely overtaken by this lignification, they fully transform into trees.

* TheLostWoods: They inhabit forests, and they specialize in actively using their woodland environments into weapons and deathtraps. In particular, plants with their domain will act like living things and attempt to clutch and grab at intruders, and the blights can control the wildlife of their home forests and set them against trespassers.

* AnIcePerson: Fittingly for their home environment, they have considerable control over ice and cold. Their attacks deal direct and lingering cold damage, those under the effect of their curses become especially vulnerable to cold (or lose cold immunity if they have it), move across iced-over surfaces with no difficulty and automatically lower the temperatures of the areas they claim -- already arctic areas under their control become so cold that they're quite literally lethal to be in.

* PestController: They can summon and control swarms of insects, and a cloud of biting mosquitoes surrounds them at all times.

** {{Telepathy}}: They can telepathically communicate with any intelligent creature in their cursed domain.

* DumbMuscle: Oozes can get high CRs just like any other monster type, allowing them to duke it out with even the highest level adventurers, but by default they're mindless.

* AsteroidsMonster: Giant amoebas may detach parts of of themselves to form an amoeba swarm, and are known entirely transform into larger swarms in particularly lean times, the entire thing dissolving into a pile of coin-sized versions of itself. Conversely, when hunting is good, an amoeba swarm may coalesce into a single giant amoeba.
* MegaMicrobes: Giant amoebas are quite large, as big as or bigger than a soccer ball. They usually subsist by hunting rats and other small vertebrates, which they are capable of engulfing whole. It's noted in-uinverse to be a highly mutated version of regular amoebas, which are normally microscopic like in real life.
