[QUOTE="Big Mac, post: 4318706, member: 61182"] I agree with treating the parasites as part of the creature (even if they are actually separate creatures in a symbiotic relationship) as they don't seem to do anything except swim on the surface of the creature. How likely is it that a GM is going to want players to scrape these parasites off of a dead aruchai? ...and... ...and... I'd go for ooze too, as they are blob-like. The (possible) shapestealing ability makes them unusual, but that would be something that would only happen once. I'm not sure the weirdness stops them qualifying as oozes. I can see us debating every single ability (and even different parts of the same ability) to work out how to do this. Maybe you had the right idea in looking at type. Maybe we should get the general stats done and then put each special ability "on trial". I think the entire creature needs a re-write, but I'm not hung up on "winning the debate", so I think it will be very interesting to see what parts of this creature work in a 3e form and what parts we need to adapt or drop.
