A living creature that strikes an ethereal ooze with an unarmed attack or natural weapon takes 3d6 acid damage unless the creature succeeds on a DC 22 Reflex save. The save DCs are Constitution-based. ### Ethereal Jaunt (Su) An ethereal ooze can shift from the Ethereal Plane to the Material Plane as a free action, and shift back again as a move action (or as part of a move action). Creatures engulfed by the ethereal ooze are taken with it, but with a successful DC 20 Will save, they can resist the effect. The ability is otherwise identical to _ethereal jaunt_ (CL 15th). ### Transdimensional (Su) While incorporeal, an ethereal ooze's attacks and acid can affect material creatures as if it were a corporeal creature. An ethereal ooze's blindsight extends into both the material and ethereal plane. #### ecology **Terrain** Ethereal Plane **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 13–18 HD (Huge); 19–36 HD (Gargantuan) Ethereal oozes are creatures native to the Ethereal Plane that hunt and feed off material beings. Their terrifying, seemingly unstoppable attacks have given rise to countless myths about the wrath of gods and stories of mysterious disappearances. A typical ethereal ooze has a shape similar to that of a gelatinous cube. It is filled with a turgid swirl of fleshy color and the remains of its previous meals. ### Combat An ethereal ooze lurks in on the Ethereal Plane until it detects a creature on the Material Plane large enough to attract its interest (at least Small in size). The ethereal ooze then shifts in and moves toward the creature, hoping to move over it drag it into the Ethereal Plane before it can run away.
