grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and
can constrict.
Suspended Animation (Ex): While returning to full size
the oasis ooze may only make a single move or attack action
each round. It may move up to its speed and attack in the same
round, but only if it attempts a charge.
Transparent (Ex): It takes a successful Spot check (DC

Treasure
All manner of adventuring gear might be found inside an
oasis ooze or along the edges of its pool. These items will
always be restricted to non-organic materials, however.
Oasis oozes are worth quite a bit on the Iron Kingdoms
industrial markets. Their worth ranges from 200 gp (for the

has many uses in industries such as printing, manufacturing,
and alchemy.

and is willing to pay well for it. If the PCs accept the
collector’s offer, they begin the trip with the collector, his wife,

a factory owner may wish to recover his own beast so as to
avoid the steep fees he is currently paying for industrial acids
on the open market.
