Monster: Cesspit Ooze
An ooze that formed and gained sentience due to arcane emanations in a city's sewers. The enraging acid ability is kind of cool.

Enraging Acid: The creature secretes a digestive acid that dissolves organic material and metal, but does not affect stone. Any organic or metal creature or object touching the cesspit ooze takes 1d-1 corrosion damage per second. Engulfed creatures and objects take it as Large-Area Injury (p. B400). If any damage penetrates the target’s DR, he must make a HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of penetrating damage, or suffer gain Berserk (6) (p. B124) with the Battle Rage enhancement for (20-HT) minutes (minimum 1 minute).
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.
Stench: Any creature that inhales the stench exuded by the cesspit ooze in a 4-yard radius becomes nauseated for a number of minutes, equal to the margin of failure.
Death Burst: Upon dying, the cesspit ooze explodes in a cloud of acid, dealing 2d corrosion damage to everyone within 2 yards.
