SPECIAL ABILITIES

Acid Injection (Ex)

When a rift flumph strikes an opponent with its spikes, it injects a burning, irritating acid that deals 1d4 points of acid damage immediately and another 1d4 points of acid damage on the round after the attack. The target can end the acid’s effects by submerging the wound in water for a round or by being treated with a DC 15 Heal check. A creature that grapples or swallows the rift flumph takes this acid damage automatically every round it maintains this contact with a living flumph.

Prismatic Vision (Ex)

The fundamental changes that rift flumphs have undergone drastically changed their metabolism and several bodily functions but most importantly, their vision. A rift flumph constantly emits a color spray effect (CL 2nd; Will DC 15; no spell resistance or HD limitations) in a 15-foot cone, saturating the area it is looking at with the refracted light from its body.

Stench Spray (Ex)

A rift flumph can spray a 20-ft. line of foul-smelling liquid once every 1d4 rounds. This spray functions like the stench universal monster ability, except it only affects creatures struck by the spray, which must make a DC 10 Fortitude save or be sickened for 5 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Alternatively, the rift flumph can concentrate the spray on a single target within 5 feet. To use this version of its stench spray, the rift flumph must succeed at a ranged touch attack.

If the target is hit, it must make a DC 10 Fortitude save or become nauseated for 5 rounds; otherwise, it is sickened for 5 rounds. The odor from this spray lingers in the area and on all creatures struck for 1d4 hours, and can be detected at a range of 100 feet (creatures with the scent ability can smell it at double this range).

ECOLOGY

Environment any land or underground
Organization solitary, pair, or colony (4–16)
Treasure standard

Rift flumphs float on the breezes in search of prey, stunning their victims with a kaleidoscopic gaze before moving in for the kill.

A rift flumph is about 3 ft. long and weighs only 17 pounds.
