    Pseudopod (8): thrust 1d-2 crushing, Reach C-1.
    Devour Mind: The reason stealer can drain IQ from victims grappled by the pseudopod. The victim loses 1 IQ per second (this does lower Will and Per), and the reason stealer heals 1 HP per every 3 points of IQ stolen. The victims regain lost IQ at the rate they recover FP.
    Grotesque Form: A reason stealer that has stolen IQ from a sapient creature can shape its body into a bizarre reflection of that creature. It is obviously flawed, making impersonation impossible. This ability works as Morph with the No Memorization Required enhancement, and can imitate racial templates that cost up to 57 points.
    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 16). 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 (11). 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.

    Traits: Blindness; Clinging; Dependency (Stolen Intelligence; Occasional; Monthly); Doesn’t Breathe; Doesn’t Eat or Drink; Doesn’t Sleep; Extra-Flexible Arm; High Pain Threshold; Horizontal; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards; Injury Tolerance (Homogenous, No Blood, No Eyes, No Head, No Neck); Invertebrate; Mute; No Legs (Slithers); No Fine Manipulators; Slippery 5.
    Skills: Brawling-8; Stealth-12.
    Creature Type: Ooze.

    Punch (14): thrust 3d+1 crushing (KYOS: 6d crushing), Reach C-1.
    Aura of Madness: The rogue eidolon is constantly surrounded by an aura of madness. Any creature within 20 yards must roll a Fright Check using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85) at a -3 penalty. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. The victims get +1 per Fright Check after the first within 24 hours.
    Blood Spray (14): A 10-yard jet of blood erupts from the rogue eidolon’s face. It uses Innate Attack (Beam) to hit. Don’t apply range penalties; treat this as a long melee weapon rather than a ranged attack. If the spray strikes a creature, the creature must roll against (Will+DR). If it fails, it flies into a murderous rage for margin of failure minutes as per the Berserk disadvantage with the Battle Rage enhancement and no self-control roll. The rogue eidolon must wait at least 5 seconds between two consecutive uses of this ability.

    Traits: Bloodlust (9); Dark Vision; Doesn’t Breathe; Doesn’t Eat or Drink; Doesn’t Sleep; High Pain Threshold; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards; Immunity to Mind Control; Injury Tolerance (Homogenous, No Blood, No Eyes); Magic Resistance 4 (Improved); No Sense of Smell/Taste; Numb; Social Stigma (Monster); Sterile; Taboo Trait (Fixed IQ); Unaging; Unfazeable; Unhealing (Total); Unnatural; Vacuum Support; Wealth (Dead Broke).

    Fungus: Any living creature struck by a rukarazyll’s fangs or claws must make a HT-3 roll or become infested with the fecund fungus that grows on the monster’s body. This deals 1d toxic damage that repeats for eighteen more cycles with a 10-second interval. Each instance of damage can be negated by a HT-3 roll. Once the victim loses 1/2 of its HP to this attack, the fibrous white filaments begin to seethe and twist in the host’s body, actively trying to resist any actions the host attempts, imposing a -5 penalty to DX until the host heals above this threshold. A host who dies due to this attack has their body transform into an immobile heap of fungus that lives for 3d weeks before perishing. Any creature that comes into contact with one of these transformed bodies must make a successful HT-3 or become infested with the same effect.
