    Pseudopod (12): thrust 2d crushing (KYOS: 3d+2 crushing), Reach C-1.
    Fire in the Blood: When the conflagration ooze receives any cutting, impaling, or piercing injury, it bleeds fiery toxin on the weapon that wounded him – or its foe, if attacked with claws, teeth, etc. If the toxin contacts a living creature, that creature must roll HT or become wracked with terrible pain for margin of failure minutes, as the toxin turns its blood into liquid flames. In addition, it takes 1d-1 burning damage (DR applies normally) regardless of the result of the HT roll. Until the conflagration ooze stops bleeding (see Bleeding, p. B420), the toxin drips on everything nearby. This works like any other Aura, and the ooze can deliberately attack others by flicking its toxin around.
    Heat Aura: The conflagration ooze always emits heat. The temperature changes at a rate of 4° per second up to a maximum of 40° above the ambient temperature in a two-yard radius around the conflagration ooze. This ambient temperature change ability never does damage directly.
    Ooze Senses: An ooze’s entire body is a primitive sensory organ that can ascertain prey by scent and vibration. It uses standard range penalties instead of a -1/yard penalty when detecting smells, and gets a +5 bonus on Smell and Taste rolls (Sense roll 15). Its smell operates both in air and underwater. In addition, the ooze can detect vibrations in the air. It can locate prey in the dark, but cannot detect details. To use Vibration Sense, the ooze must make a Sense roll (10). Consult the Size and Speed/Range Table (p. B550) and apply separate bonuses for the target’s size and speed, and a penalty for the range to the target. Wind will generate “noise” that interferes with this sense. Find the speed of the wind on the table and assess the relevant speed penalty. A successful roll reveals the rough size, location, speed, and direction of movement of the target, allowing the ooze to move to it and attempt to engulf it.
