|
If a Gelatinous Parasite starts its turn inside of, or takes a move action that passes through, a Gelatinous Cube, it gains +6 hit points either as healing or as temporary hit points, depending on if it was damaged or not. This ability is a free action, but cannot be used more than once per round. As mindless creatures, the parasites will not seek this out during combat, but it may occur circumstantially. |
| Transparent (Ex) |
|
Due to its lack of coloration, a gelatinous parasite is difficult to discern. A DC 19 Perception check is required to notice a motionless gelatinous parasite. |
| Semi-Solid (Ex) |
|
A gelatinous parasite never suffers movement penalties or squeezing penalties from moving through or ending its turn inside of a gelatinous cube's space. It suffers squeeze penalties for sharing space with other gelatinous parasites, however. |
Gelatinous Parasite
This creature possesses the Henchman role, and therefore counts as monsters for purposes of encounter size, XP award, and treasure.Many Gelatinous Cubes are accompanied by, or perhaps infested by, smaller, crystal-clear oozes of a much more liquid nature. These things have been dubbed Gelatinous Parasites, on the assumption that they are gaining sustenance at the expense of the Cube.- Gelatinous Parasites are Henchmen for the Gelatinous Cube, although if desired they may also be used as standalone monsters.
- The exact nature of the relationship between Gelatinous Cubes and Gelatinous Parasites is not common knowledge. What is well known is that Gelatinous Parasites are just as hungry and aggressive as a Gelatinous Cube, and if an infested Cube attacks, the Parasites will be attacking just as hungrily.
- To make things worse, Parasites are a lot smaller and faster than a Gelatinous Cube, and if you thought running away from a Cube while Slowed was no fun, the Parasites make it even worse...
