A weapon that strikes a flotsam ooze becomes stuck fast to the creature’s adhesive flesh unless the wielder succeeds at a DC 17 Reflex save. A creature adjacent to the flotsam ooze can attempt to pry off a stuck weapon with a DC 17 Strength check, but doing so provokes an attack of opportunity from the flotsam ooze. The flotsam ooze’s adhesive flesh gives it a +8 racial bonus on grapple checks. It can attempt to grapple a foe without spending an action whenever a creature successfully hits it with a natural attack or an unarmed strike. A flotsam ooze does not gain the grappled condition when it grapples a foe, nor does it provoke attacks of opportunity when it attempts to do so. Soap, lye, or universal solvent, alchemical solvent, or a similar fluid removes a flotsam ooze’s adhesive quality for 1 minute if it fails a DC 15 Reflex save, or for 1d4 rounds if it makes the save. The flotsam ooze loses its adhesive quality 1 minute after the it dies. The save DCs are Constitution-based. ### Transparent (Ex) Due to its lack of coloration, a flotsam ooze is difficult to discern from its surroundings. A DC 15 Perception check is required to notice the flotsam ooze while it is in water. Any creature that fails to notice a flotsam ooze and walks into it automatically suffers damage as if struck by the ooze’s slam attack and is immediately subject to a grab attempt by the ooze. #### ecology **Terrain** Any water **Organization** Solitary **Treasure** Standard **Advancement** 3–6 HD (Large); 7–15HD (Huge); 16–30 HD (Gargantuan); 31+ HD (Colossal) A flotsam ooze is atransparent mass ofsticky protoplasm thatquickly becomes encrustedwith bits of floating debris and possibletreasure.
