The ooze drake is a disgusting and vile creature that relies on stealth and cunning to defeat its prey.

The slimy, gray-green scales of an ooze drake drip with caustic goo. The creature’s claws and teeth are dirty gray, and its eyes are a pale, watery yellow.

Ooze drakes live in dank swamps and stinking marshes, or in dark caverns beneath the earth. They occasionally take bands of lizardfolk or troglodytes under their wing, though their patience with such lesser beings is limited.

An ooze drake speaks Draconic and either Aquan or Terran (50% chance of either). Its speech is slow and slurred, as if it is speaking with a mouth half full of water.

Combat

Thanks to their vision abilities, ooze drakes can detect potential prey from some distance away. They approach either by air or underwater, as appropriate, grab a target, and either take flight or pull it underwater with them. They disdain anything resembling a fair fight.

Acid (Ex): An ooze drake’s body exudes acid at all times.

This acid deals 1d6 points of extra acid damage whenever it hits in melee or, when grappling, during each round when maintains a hold. Only stone is unaffected by this acid.
