The Drow War Book Two. The Dying Of - RoseRed

Regeneration: Fire and acid deal normal damage to a
chatterman.
Vulnerability to Warmth: A chatterman who enters an
environment in which the background temperature is
higher than five degrees Celsius begins to deteriorate.
He loses one point of Strength per hour and no longer
benefits from the regeneration special quality. A
chatterman reduced to zero Strength disintegrates
completely.

This gigantic, amorphous mass of gel consists of a
faintly bluish translucent substance crusted on the
outside with snow and rime. Glacial oozes appear
almost identical to mounds of snow, especially when the
weather makes visibility poor. They blend in seamlessly
with their environments, engulfing their prey in sudden
swift surges which can easily be mistaken for minor
avalanches. Glacial oozes typically prey upon seals but
can easily devour polar bears and even mammoths.
Engulf (Ex): Although it moves slowly, a glacial ooze
can simply mow down Huge or smaller creatures as a
standard action. It cannot make a slam attack during
a round in which it engulfs. The glacial ooze merely
has to move over the opponents, affecting as many as it
can cover. Opponents can make attacks of opportunity
against the ooze but if they do so they are not entitled
to saving throws. Those who do not attempt attacks of
opportunity must succeed on Reflex saving throws (DC
32) or be engulfed; on success, they are pushed back
or aside (Games Master’s choice) as the ooze moves
forward. Engulfed creatures are subject to the ooze’s
paralysis and cold damage and are considered to be
grappled and trapped within its body. The saving throw
DC is Strength-based.
Freeze (Su): Glacial oozes continually leech heat from
their environment. A creature trapped inside a glacial
ooze is dealt 3d6 cold damage each round.
Paralysis (Ex): A glacial ooze can freeze opponents
where they stand. A target hit by a glacial ooze’s melee
or engulf attack must succeed on a Fortitude saving
throw (DC 28) or be paralysed for 3d6 rounds. The ooze
can automatically engulf a paralysed opponent. The
saving throw DC is Constitution-based.
Snow Crust (Ex): A glacial ooze is hard to identify when
against a background of snow and gains a +20 racial
bonus to all Hide checks made in snowy environments.
Creatures who fail to notice a glacial ooze and walk into
it are automatically hit with a melee attack for slam and
cold damage.
Surge (Ex): Unlike other oozes, glacial oozes can
abruptly surge forward to absorb prey. They instinctively
attack by surging down the sides of mountains or snowcovered
hills. When it surges, a glacial ooze may move
up to double its speed and gains a +2 bonus to the DC
of the Reflex saving throw needed for targets to avoid
being engulfed. Once a glacial ooze has surged, it
cannot do so again for 1d4 rounds.
