Purple Slime

Nobody knows where slimes originate, but anyone who has had the misfortune of fighting one knows that they are tricky and volatile foes. Some slimes rapidly split apart intomultiple slimes, while others can regenerate. Others grow larger the more they consume, allowing them to become truly enormous adversaries.

Features
Corrosive Body. When the Purple Slime takes sharp damage, it makes a special attack: +3 vs FORT of all creatures within a 5 ft radius. Hit: 2 (1d4) corrosive. Malleable Form. The Slime can use its move action to pass through spaces as small as 1 inch but cannot end its turn in any space too small for its size. If it does, it takes 13 (2d12) blunt damage. Phagocytosis. If the Purple Slime kills a creature with Engulf or uses Engulf on a corpse it regains 10 HP. Additionally, its HP maximum increases by 5. For every 15 maximum HP gained through Phagocytosis, the Purple Slime gains +1 STR (which also gives it +1 on attack and damage rolls), and it increases its Size by one step.

Hit: The target is Grappled (escape DC 10 + the Slime’s STR) and gains the Suffocating condition while Grappled in this way.
