I'd swap the con and dex scores. And then knock dex down to 10 or so. A giant slug have a high reflex defense is a tad counter intuitive.

But they're slippery!

Haha I know what you mean. I did a high Dex because the Monster Manual recommends a higher stat for the monster's primary attack, but it doesn't look like it actually makes a difference in that regard, and the high reflex for the slug is, like you say, counter intuitive.

I think the giant slug should also have the ability to squeeze through small spaces.

What would fight with a dire slug?

A dire salt shaker?

A dire salt shaker?

Snrk.

I meant, what would fight along-side. As in, if you were building an encounter, and were pairing several monsters together including the dire slug, what else would be in the encounter fighting with it?

I think they could make interesting mounts for... something. What, I don't know.

I think faerie would be best. Have a couple of slugs with spearmen riders and some archers firing upon people that are slowed/immoblized. Sounds like it would be an interesting fight.

What's so cheesy about this creature?
