SPECIAL ABILITIES

Mercury Poisoning (Ex)

Slam—injury; save Fort DC 17; frequency 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1 Dexterity damage and 1 Constitution damage; cure 1 save. The save DC is Constitution-based.

If an opponent failed a save against the poison, one week after suffering the effects of the mercury poisoning, if the target has not received the benefits of a neutralize poison during that time span, then he must succeed on a DC 17 Will save or be affected as if by an insanity spell (caster level 10th). The effects can be removed by the successful casting of a greater restoration, heal, miracle, or wish spell.

ECOLOGY

Environment underground
Organization solitary
Treasure none

Created by some bizarre and broken arcane experiment in ages past, the mercury ooze is a monster best left alone. The mercury ooze is about 8 feet long and 6 inches thick. It can compress its body to a thickness of 1 inch to slip into cracks and crevices.

A mercury ooze attacks by grabbing and squeezing its prey.
