### Adhesive (Ex)
A flotsam ooze exudes a sticky slime that acts as a powerful adhesive, holding fast any creatures or items that touch it. It automatically grapples any creature it hits with its slam attack. Opponents so grappled cannot get free while the ooze is alive without removing the adhesive first. A flotsam ooze does not gain the grappled condition when it grapples a foe. A weapon that strikes an adhesive-coated flotsam ooze is stuck fast unless the wielder succeeds on a DC 16 Reflex save. A successful DC 16 Strength check is needed to pry off a stuck weapon, but each attempt provokes an attack of opportunity. Soap, lye, or universal solvent dissolves the adhesive, but the flotsam ooze can still grapple normally. The flotsam ooze's adhesive breaks down 5 rounds after the creature dies. The save DC is Strength-based.
### Transparent (Ex)
A flotsam ooze is transparent in water, and it gains the benefit of nine-tenths concealment (40% miss chance) when it is in water.
