A silver puddle of slime, like a living blob of mercury
A silver slime is an artificial lifeform created by an alien race of magicians to maintain their building complexes. Silver slimes are a type of giant slime mold, and go through a similar lifecycle to more mundane slime molds.
A silver slime will never willingly leave whatever structure it is assigned to maintain. If forced to leave, the slime stops eating and eventually starves to death. This is a safety feature to prevent the uncontrolled spread of these oozes.
In the first stage of its life-cycle, the silver slime is an amoeboid blob of silver protoplasm that work as a "cleaning crew". They crawl over every surface in its environment, eating organic stains and refuse and leaving the surfaces sparkling clean. A silver slime amoeboid will split into two new amoeboids if it eats enough. Individually, each "blob" is harmless, but in large numbers they form swarms that may endanger careless intruders.
In the second stage of its life-cycle, hundreds of amoeboids aggregate into a large mass resembling a quicksilver slug. This silver slime slug functions as a "repair crew". If it encounters a damaged object or structure that's part of the complex it inhabits, the slug extrudes a pseudopod that transforms into whatever tool it needs to fix the damage.
The third, and final, stage of the silver slime life-cycle is a sporocarp (a fruiting body). The silver slime slug extrudes a stalk and climbs up it, gradually branching out and drying until it forms a tree-like body covered in "fruit" that eventually releases spores that develop into new amoeboids and start the life cycle anew.
COMBAT
In its swarm form, a silver slime will digest any organic matter it moves across, including living creatures unable to get out of its way. They do not pursue creatures that escape them.
Acid (Ex): A silver slime's acid does not harm metal or stone.
Distraction (Ex): Any living creature that begins its turn with a silver slime swarm in its space must succeed on a DC 16 Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Silver Slime Slug
Silver slime slugs mindlessly wander around their territory, repairing any damage they come across. They can form their pseudopods into a bewildering away of tools. The most significant are a flaming wand that burns hot enough to weld steel and a trowel that can exude slime that hardens to the toughness of stone.
A silver slime slug is usually about 8 feet long, 2 to 4 feet wide and 1 foot thick. It can spread its slimy gestalt body into a 8 diameter disc up to a foot thick, or condense into a lump 5 feet across and up to 2 feet tall. A typical specimen weighs 500 to 800 pounds.
COMBAT
A silver slime slug does not attack per se, even in self defense, but may mistake intruders for damaged pieces of equipment and attempt to "repair" them. Silver slime slugs have been known to melt and refashion a suit of armor into a door while the armor was being worn be a fighter. They often mistake opponents for broken bits of a construction and seek to concrete them into a wall or floor.
Acid (Ex): A silver slime's acid does not harm metal or stone.
Blowtorch (Ex): A silver slime slug can form a pseudopod into a flaming wand that can shoot a line of fire up to 10 ft. long. Everything in the blowtorch's area of effect takes 3d8 fire damage (DC 20 Reflex save negates.) The save DC is Constitution-based.
Concrete (Ex): As a standard action, a silver slime slug can cover a 5 ft. square with part of its own substance. Any creature in the square must succeed at a DC 15 Reflex save or become entangled by this slimy material. If the concreted creature is in contact with a floor of wall they become stuck to the wall. A silver slime's concrete hardens rapidly, the concreted creature can escape with a DC 15 Strength check or a DC 15 Escape Artist check, with the DC increases by +1 per round to a maximum of +10 after 1 minute. Each 5-foot section of concrete has 15 hit points and damage reduction 3/—. Once the concrete hardens completely (after 1 minute) it gains damage reduction 8/—. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a -5 racial penalty.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a silver slime slug must hit with its slam attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and deals damage automatically every round. Silver slime slugs have a +4 racial bonus on grapple checks (already figured into the Base Attack/Grapple entry above).
Silver Slime Sporocarp (CR ½)
A mature silver slime sporocarp resembles a stately, dried-out tree about 20 feet tall. Hundreds of spherical silvery "fruit" hang at the end of the tree's branches, each fruit is about an inch in diameter, hollow, and filled with spores. A dry sporocarp has vulnerability to fire. It is AC 1, hardness 5, and takes 120 hit points of damage to destroy, but any weapon damage which does not destroy the sporocarp causes it to split open and release its spores. The spores scatter in a cloud covering a 30 foot radius doing 2d4 points of acid damage to any organic matter they touch, including living creatures.
Given enough time and food, even a single spore can grow and multiply into an entire silver slime colony. Partially developed sporocarps are soggy and covered with damp mucus, giving them fire resistance 5. Such a sporocarp poses no threat, since its spores are not ready to reproduce.
