A living creature that strikes an ethereal ooze with an unarmed attack or natureal weapon takes 3d6 acid damage unless the creature succeeds on a DC 22 Reflex save. The save DCs are Constitution-based. ### Engulf (Ex) Although it moves slowly an ethereal ooze can simply mow down Large or smaller prey on the Ethereal Plane as a standard action. It cannot make a slam attack on the round it engulfs prey. The ethereal ooze merely has to move over the opponents, affecting as many as it can cover. Opponents can make opportunity attacks against the ethereal ooze, but if they do, they are not entitled to a saving throw. Those who do not attempt opportunity attacks must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 20) or be engulfed; on a success they are pushed back or aside (opponent's choice) as the ethereal ooze moves forward. Engulfed creatures are subject to the ooze's constrict damage and are considered grappled and trapped within its body A creature so trapped cannot breathe and must hold its breath or suffocate. ### Etherealize (Su) After manifesting on the Material Plane, an ethereal ooze can attempt to etherealize material targets. To do so, it moves over them, covering as many targets of Large size or smaller as it can. These targets can make attacks of opportunity against the ethereal ooze, but it is incorporeal. The ethereal ooze can then make use of its etherealize ability as a standard action. Creatures covered by its body must make a Will saving throw (DC 20) or be drawn into the Ethereal Plane inside the ethereal ooze. Such a creature is then considered engulfed. Should a victim manage to win its way free of the ethereal ooze on the Ethereal Plane, the ooze continues to attack. Creatures freed of the ooze while ethereal remain in that state, and they must find their own way back to the Material Plane. ### Manifestation (Su) An ethereal ooze dwells on the Ethereal Plane. As an ethereal creature, it cannot affect or be affected by anything in the material world (except that it can be targeted by force effects and abjurations that originate on the Material Plane). When an ethereal ooze manifests, it partly enters the Material Plane and becomes visible but incorporeal on the Material Plane. A manifested ooze cannot harm material opponents except by using its etherealize ability. A manifested ooze remains partially on the Ethereal Plane, where is it not incorporeal. A manifested ooze can be attacked by opponents on either the Material Plane or the Ethereal Plane. The ethereal ooze's incorporeality helps protect it from foes on the Material Plane, but not foes on the Ethereal Plane. Much like a ghost, an ethereal ooze lurks in material form 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 manifests and moves toward the creature, #### ecology **Terrain** Ethereal Plane **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 13–18 HD (Huge); 19–36 HD (Gargantuan) Ethereal oozes are creaturesnative to the Ethereal Plane that hunt and feed off materialbeings. Their terrifying, seemingly unstoppable attacks havegiven rise to countless myths about the wrath of gods andstories of mysterious disappearances.A typical ethereal ooze has a shape similar to that of agelatinous cube. It is filled with a turgid swirl of fleshy colorand the remains of its previous meals.
