QUALITIES

Split (ex) - Slashing and piercing weapons deal no damage to the Carnivorous Blob. Instead, it splits into two identical forms, each with half of the original's current hit points (round down). Pieces of the orignal continue to split until they have less than 10 hit points. Each piece dies at 0 hit points.

ACTIONS
Attacks

Reactive Strike (Reaction)(ex) - Whenever the Carnivorous Blob takes damage, it reflexively lashes out with a slam attack. This ability effectively grants it an attack of opportunity against any adjacent foe that deals it damage. These attacks of opportunity do not count against the normal limit the creature can make in a round. Whenever a creature takes cold damage, the creature cannot use its reactive strike ability until after it takes its next action in combat.

DESCRIPTION

Environment: any

Organization: None

Treasure: none

Rolling and twitching like a massive wad of translucent ooze, this crimson blob reaches out amorphous pseudopods in all directions.

While sages debate whether the first carnivorous blobs were created by a mad wizard, formed in foul fleshwarping vats in some sinister city, or traveled to this world trapped in the core of a meteor, there is one thing they all agree on-none wish to get close enough to study the monstrosity. Carnivorous blobs move like a typical ooze, rolling out blobs of its fleshy material in haphazard directions, and pulling its bulk across the ground, up walls, and even through the water. If a carnivorous blob goes for more than 24 hours without a source of food, it drops into a sort of hibernation, resembling nothing so much as a pool of gelatinous blood. The creature springs to life quickly and hungrily as soon as any living prey comes within range of its senses.
