Star oozes are wonders ofadaptation,able to exist for thousands ofyears on specks ofrock that hurtle between worlds as tiny spores,only to be revitalized and born anew when a world filled with life,and food,is struck.

In its motile form,a star ooze takes on the appearance ofa Small humanoid creature with flaccid,watery skin.It possesses no orifices except for a mouth.Its arms end in hardened fists,and it sports filmy wings,capable ofcarrying it great distances.

A star ooze propagates by splitting itselfinto two new creatures.Ifa star ooze is slain,1d4 pebble-sized spores (1 hit point each) are left behind.Ifthe spores are not destroyed,immersing one in water will produce a new star ooze in one hour.

Combat

A star ooze relies on its acidic exhalations to slow down its foes before it moves in with its fists.Before any combat,a star ooze attempts to selfgenerate (see below) ifit is able to use the ability.Because ofits fast healing,it can wear down lone foes who can’t regain their health so quickly.

Breath Weapon (Su): 10-foot cone ofacidic ooze,usable every 1d4 rounds,Reflex save (DC 12) negates.Living creatures that fail their saves are tormented by itching skin and burning eyes,imposing a –4 morale penalty to AC and a –2 penalty on attack rolls for 3 rounds.

SelfGenerate (Ex): Once per day a star ooze can draw on its own form to selfgenerate another star ooze as a standard action (that does not provoke an attack ofopportunity).The new star ooze splits offfrom the original,occupying a space adjacent to the original.Neither the original nor the new star ooze is appreciably smaller than the original.Each creature has the same number ofhit points that the original had when it split.A new star ooze created in this way must wait at least one hour to use its own selfgeneration ability,and it can do so only after it has feasted on some prey.In all other respects,the new star ooze has all the characteristics described here.

Ooze Traits: Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis,stunning, polymorphing,and mind-influencing effects;not subject to critical hits or flanking;blind.
