| 3 | This page is part of the character sheet for ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'', covering non-playable '''Ooze''' creatures. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | A broad category of creatures united mostly by being naturally amorphous and lacking specialized body parts, existing as living masses of various substances. Most that aren't masses of protoplasm are liquids or colloids of some sort or another, but gaseous and plasma-based oozes also exist. |

| 13 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 14 | * AcidAttack: Many oozes have acidic attacks that can quickly degrade flesh and wood, among other materials. |
| 15 | * BlobMonster: All oozes have amorphous, mutable bodies. |
| 16 | * 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. |
| 17 | * MonsterOrganTrafficking: Fluids harvested from acid-secreting oozes can be used to craft items, potions and alchemical gear related to acid. |

| 20 | !Intelligent |
| 21 | [[folder:Blight]] |
| 22 | Long ago, serpentfolk druids sought to recruit the land itself as a minion in their wars against the likes of the aboleth and saurian. Their attempt went horribly wrong, melting them into a singular intelligence that viewed all of civilization as an enemy. The original blight was defeated, but it split into many other versions that survive to this day. |
| 23 | ---- |
| 24 | * AsteroidsMonster: The original, which is why there's still blights today. |
| 25 | * ExtraEyes: Which is to say any eyes at all. Most oozes don't have any, but blights have many, allowing them to see normally in addition to their blindsense. |
| 26 | * FisherKing: Once a year a blight can mark a ten mile diameter area as their cursed domain, granting them various abilities they can use on the environment. |
| 27 | * FromASingleCell: When a blight is destroyed a new blight grows from its cursed terrain, representing them regenerating from residual fragments. This can only be avoided by casting ''remove curse'' on the blight's remains. |
| 28 | * GodGuise: Blights will pose as emissaries from the gods or even gods themselves when interacting with primitive beings, recruiting them as minions for its murderous campaign. |
| 29 | * HealingFactor: All have fast healing of some degree. |
| 30 | * HomeFieldAdvantage: All blights have a favored terrain they get bonuses in and gain additional bonuses and abilities while within their cursed domain, heavily incentivizing them to let foes come to them. |
| 31 | * HostileTerraforming: The essence of what blights do -- a blight can manipulate and alter the area it claims as its domain, modifying it to transform it into its preferred habitat and to make it as hostile as possible to sapient life. |
| 32 | * NoSell: To acid, in addition to usual ooze immunities. |
| 33 | * 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. While many oozes have no eyes and poor senses, blights are studded with eyes. In pretty much every area, a blight defies the usual expectations of an ooze. |
| 34 | * PragmaticVillainy: Despite their hatred of intelligent life, they know certain powerful creatures can be useful as allies and minions and will take steps to recruit them. |
| 35 | * {{Telepathy}}: They can telepathically communicate with any intelligent creature in their cursed domain. |
| 36 | * UndergroundMonkey: Blights come in numerous types adapted to and themed around different environments, and with their magic and abilities specialized for controlling and weaponizing the things found in their specific biomes. |
| 37 | * 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 endgame, reaping all the rewards of their alliance but avoiding their eventual wrath. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | !!Desert Blight |
| 40 | ->'''Level:''' 13 |
| 41 | ->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil |
| 42 | ->'''Size:''' Medium |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Blights adapted to arid environments. |
| 45 | ---- |
| 46 | * CombatTentacles: Their method of melee attack. |
| 47 | * ManBehindTheMan: Desert blights like to ally with desert mummies and goad them into leading crusades of undead monsters against cities while the blight itself remains safely away from the conflict, sometimes even dominating necromancers in order to secure a steady influx of undead minions. |
| 48 | * ThirstyDesert: Deserts cursed by a desert blight count as one category hotter during the day and one category colder at night, making them much harsher than normal. More directly they have a dehydration pulse that can damage creatures as it pulls moisture directly from their bodies or destroy sources of water they find. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | !!Mountain Blight |
| 51 | ->'''Level:''' 14 |
| 52 | ->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil |
| 53 | ->'''Size:''' Medium |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Blight adapted to high altitude environments. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Downplayed. A mountain blight is always adapted to high altitude atmosphere and thus never suffers altitude sickness or oxygen deprivation. The same can't be said for others, as a mountain blight's cursed domain always counts as one altitude category higher. A mountain blight can select other creatures to be immune to this, but everyone else gets to make a lovely array of saves against exhaustion and sickness due to the thin air. |
| 58 | * DishingOutDirt: Mountain blights can create localized earthquakes, which can be used to start rockslides or cave-ins. |
| 59 | * EvilVirtues: Restraint. Mountain blights aren't nearly as aggressive as other blights and don't seek out centers of civilization. That said, they do still set up shop at well-travelled passes and trails to ensure a steady supply of victims. |
| 60 | * NoSell: Immune to electricity. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | !!Sewer Blight |
| 63 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blightsewer_pathfinder.jpg]] |
| 64 | ->'''Level:''' 15 |
| 65 | ->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil |
| 66 | ->'''Size:''' Medium |
| 67 | |
| 68 | Blights adapted to urban environments. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * AcidAttack: 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. |
| 71 | * GrimyWater: Enforced, as their cursed domain inflicts visitors with nasty diseases. |
| 72 | * MonsterLord: For oozes. Oozes never attack sewer blights and sewer blights can control oozes with ''dominate monster'' despite their mindless nature. |
| 73 | * PlagueMaster: Entering a sewer blight's domain means saving against filth fever, in addition to the penalty to saves against diseases invoked by being in its cursed domain. Not to mention all the nasty viruses crawling around in a medieval sewer to begin with... |
| 74 | * PoisonIsCorrosive: Their claw attacks deal extra acid damage. |
| 75 | * WolverineClaws: Rather than tentacles and slam attacks, they attack with claws formed from hardened protoplasm. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | !!Tundra Blight |
| 78 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blighttundra_pathfinder.jpg]] |
| 79 | ->'''Level:''' 16 |
| 80 | ->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil |
| 81 | ->'''Size:''' Medium |
| 82 | |
| 83 | Blights adapted to frigid environments. |
| 84 | ---- |
| 85 | * 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), they move across iced-over surfaces with no difficulty and their presence automatically lowers 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. |
| 86 | * EvilIsDeathlyCold: They're as evil, hateful and genocidal as any other blight, and they delight in using their icy abilities to spread death and misery. |
| 87 | * 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 |
| 88 | * WallCrawl: They can move easily across any icy surface, even if it's vertical. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | !!Swamp Blight |
| 91 | ->'''Level:''' 17 |
| 92 | ->'''Alignment:''' LawfulEvil |
| 93 | ->'''Size:''' Medium |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Blights adapted to marshy environments. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * AcidAttack: They can produce and wield acid to attack their foes, delivering it both as projectiles of acidic goo and through stings. |
| 98 | * NightOfTheLivingMooks: All creatures that die in a swamp blight's cursed domain rise as swamp mummies. They deliberately exploit this, having its mummy minions drag captives back to kill in its domain to bolster their ranks. |
| 99 | * PestController: They can summon and control swarms of insects, and a cloud of biting mosquitoes surrounds a swamp blight at all times. |
| 100 | * PoisonIsCorrosive: They can spit globs of acidic poison and their stings inject "toxic acid". |
| 101 | * SwampsAreEvil: Their magic allows them to turn any wetland they settle in into a deathtrap swarming with blood-sucking insects and undead. |
| 102 | |
| 103 | !!Forest Blight |
| 104 | [[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blightforest_pathfinder.jpg]] |
| 105 | ->'''Level:''' 18 |
| 106 | ->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil |
| 107 | ->'''Size:''' Medium |
| 108 | |
| 109 | Blights adapted to arboreal environments. |
| 110 | ---- |
| 111 | * CombatTentacles: They can make multiple tentacle attacks every round. |
| 112 | * EnchantedForest: They inhabit forests, and they specialize in actively turning their woodlands 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. |
| 113 | * NoOntologicalInertia: They can transform people into trees, but this transformation is instantly undone if the blight dies. |
| 114 | * {{Transflormation}}: Their claw 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. |
| 115 | * WhenTreesAttack: A forest blight's domain is often full of plant creatures. To aid them, the blight's cursed domain grants fast healing to all plant creatures within it and boosts any healing they may already have. |
| 116 | * WolverineClaws: In addition to their tentacle attacks, they attack with claws formed from hardened protoplasm. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | !!Cave Blight |
| 119 | ->'''Level:''' 19 |
| 120 | ->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil |
| 121 | ->'''Size:''' Medium |
| 122 | |
| 123 | Blights adapted to subterranean environments. |
| 124 | ---- |
| 125 | * AtomicHate: Their cursed area becomes heavily irradiated over time. |
| 126 | * BeneathTheEarth: They live in tunnel systems, favoring areas in the Darklands. |
| 127 | * ManipulativeBastard: They're particularly good at convincing aberrations to ally with them. |
| 128 | * TakenForGranite: Their sting attacks slowly inflict Dexterity damage and turn victims to stone. |
| 129 | * YouWillNotEvadeMe: The radiation of a cave blight's cursed domain interferes with teleportation, preventing quick escapes and providing a defense against anyone who would try to teleport in. |

| 134 | ->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil |
| 135 | ->'''Size:''' Tiny |
| 136 | ---- |
| 137 | * PuppeteerParasite: By disguising itself as a wig, animate hair is able to subtly influence the creature that wears it. At first, it merely makes its host more vain, but when the opportunity presents itself, the animate hair compels its host to murder. |

| 141 | ->'''Level:''' 2 |
| 142 | ->'''Alignment:''' TrueNeutral |
| 143 | ->'''Size:''' Small |
| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * HumanDisguise: A newly formed apallie is typically convinced that it is a member of its creator's species, and alters its form to insinuate itself into humanoid settlements. |
| 146 | * WeakenedByTheLight: Apallies are nocturnal, since any contact with sunlight forces them to return to their true, amorphous forms. |

| 152 | ->'''Size:''' Tiny |
| 153 | ---- |
| 154 | * BrainMonster: A brain ooze resembles almost precisely a human brain, save for the eldritch energy surrounding it and the twin tentacles extending from its sides. |
| 155 | * BrownNoteBeing: The discordant psychic noise emitted by a brain ooze dazes nearby creatures. |
| 156 | * ForTheEvulz: Brain oozes see other intelligent beings as nothing more than cattle and playthings to be tormented and consumed. |

| 164 | |
| 165 | A variant species of brain ooze that feeds almost exclusively on psychically attuned minds. |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * BrainMonster: A cerebric cyst resembles a floating, purple brain with occult sigils glowing on its surface and tentacles made of ectoplasm. |

| 175 | * BodyHorror: A victim of the colour is hideously deformed and glows with the same unnamable colour as the creature that blighted it. |
| 176 | * EnergyBeings: A colour has no physical body at all. |
| 177 | * FictionalColour: The colour's glow is unlike any seen in nature. |
| 178 | * PublicDomainCharacter: The colour out of space originated in Creator/HPLovecraft's short story "Literature/TheColourOutOfSpace". |

| 184 | ->'''Size:''' Huge |
| 185 | ---- |
| 186 | * CombatTentacles: A formless spawn fills an area around it a writhing storm of black tendrils formed from its own amorphous body. |
| 187 | * PerpetuallyProtean: A formless spawn is capable of assuming any basic shape but incapable of holding that form for long, due to a combination of a physical disinclination to stay in one configuration (doing so causes something akin to nausea) and a mental inability to even comprehend the concept of a fixed form. |

| 195 | * NonHumanUndead: Straddling the line between oozes and undead, gravesludges are primarily made of ectoplasm and grave dirt, and spontaneously arise in areas where a grave is desecrated or near strong haunt activity. |

| 213 | * AGodAmI: Retaining vague memories of their previous lives, some immortal ichors set themselves up as godlings. |
| 214 | * SealedEvilInACan: Cultists who create immortal ichor typically seal up the sentient ooze in an underground or remote chamber that blocks its magical abilities, but over time these seals break or weaken, freeing the monster. |

| 237 | ->'''Alignment:''' LawfulNeutral |
| 238 | ->'''Size:''' Tiny |
| 239 | ---- |
| 240 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Mindmoppets have only an academic understanding of good and evil, of ethics, or mortal limitations. They see service to their master's science as the ultimate standard by which they judge their actions or those of others. This can lead to conflict between them and their creator, especially if the master appears lax in their efforts to further their studies. To a mindmoppet, continuous learning is imperative. |
| 241 | * CombatClairvoyance: Mindmoppets appear to have some ability to see a short distance into the future, allowing them to anticipate the actions of others. |
| 242 | * MagicEater: Mindmoppets feed on the latent telepathic energy of creatures. Even those with no apparent gift but with an active mind can sustain a mindmoppet for days. |

| 249 | ---- |
| 250 | * OmnicidalManiac: Oblivions seek to unmake the walls of reality and drag all of the cosmos down to its eventual end. |
| 251 | * ReviveKillsZombie: An oblivion is a manifestation of disbelief and decay, and the forces of compassion and creativity are anathema to it. It is vulnerable to positive energy, taking damage as if it were undead. |
| 252 | * WalkingWasteland: Any spaces an oblivion moves through are left fallow and lifeless in its wake. Ground becomes barren, and dead bodies immediately crumble into dust. |

| 298 | First spawned by the primordial godling Nuruu’gal in the lost Azlanti city of Nal-Vashkin, these fiery, parasitic oozes contain a portion of the creature’s essence and foul sentience. |
| 299 | ---- |
| 300 | * DemonicPossession: 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. |
| 301 | * LogicalWeakness: As beings of fire spawned by a primordial fire deity, they're vulnerable to cold damage. |
| 302 | * MetamorphosisMonster: After a tear of Nuruu'gal spends enough years merged with a host, the two may fuse together and explode into a horrible light before catalyzing into a shining child. |
| 303 | * PlayingWithFire: They deal fire damage with their attacks complete with the burn ability and have a few fire spells at their disposal. |
| 304 | * TheSymbiote: If a tear grapples a humanoid, it can forcibly inhabit their body. A willing host gains access to all the spell-like abilities, spell resistance, telepathy, and fire subtype of the tear, stops aging, loses its need to eat or drink, and has a reduced need for sleep. An ''unwilling'' host gains no powers and suffers agonizing pain as it's burned from the inside out. |

| 314 | * DevolutionDevice: A thorgothrel can alter a target's genetic structure to induce rapid evolutionary regression. As the target mentally regresses, it also becomes more feral and violent. |

| 717 | * ImMelting: The flesh of those who succumb to the slime mold's fungal rot begins to blacken and decay, running from the body in liquid streams that the slime mold can easily absorb. |
