The gelatinous thing looks like living dark water, flowing with surprising speed. There's something malevolently purposeful in the way it moves and ripples. Flareaters are deadly subterranean oozes that appear to be related to  green slime - probably a natural mutation or the result of magical  experimentation. They are unnaturally warm to the touch. Flareaters live  solely to eat and reproduce, but pursue these objectives with  extraordinary intelligence. Eternally hungry, they methodically search  for their favorite food – sources of light. A flareater can grow to a diameter of up to 6 feet and a thickness of   about 6 inches. A typical specimen weighs about 250 pounds.  COMBAT Flareaters are continuously in search of prey. They may track creatures  for some time before striking, and prefer to attack by dropping upon  prey from a wall or low ceiling. A flareater will usually eat any  light-sources it senses before it tries to devour its opponents.     Acid (Ex): A flareater can secrete a digestive acid that dissolves organic material and metal quickly, but does not affect stone. Any melee hit or constrict attack by the flareater deals acid damage and Constitution damage, and the opponent's armor and clothing dissolve and become useless immediately unless they succeed on DC 19 Reflex saves. Blindsight (Ex): A flareater's entire body is a primitive sensory organ that can ascertain prey by scent and vibration within 60 feet.Constrict (Ex): A flareater  deals automatic slam, acid and Constriction damage with a successful grapple check.Engulf (Ex): A flareater can simply mow down Medium or smaller creatures as a standard action. It cannot make a slam attack during a round in which it engulfs. The flareater merely has to move over the opponents, affecting as many as it can cover. Opponents can make opportunity attacks against the ooze, but if they do so they are not entitled to a saving throw. Those who do not attempt attacks of opportunity must succeed on a DC 18 Reflex save or be engulfed; on a success, they are pushed back or aside (opponent's choice) as the flareater moves forward. Engulfed creatures are subject to the flareater's constrict attack, and are considered to be grappled and trapped within its body. The save DC is Strength-based and includes a +1 racial bonus. Growth (Su): A flareater can eat a non-magical light source, such  as a  lamp or torch, by smothering it, automatically putting it out  (the  flareater cannot eat a carried light source unless it first makes a   disarm check to cause the creature carrying the light to drop it). For   each light source that the flareater eats, it gains one positive  level.  Alternately, a flareater may absorb any spell with the Light  descriptor,  unless it is a spell that harms Oozes (such as sunbeam or sunburst),   which affect the flareater normally.  The flareater gains one positive   level for each level of the spell.  A flareater cannot absorb natural   daylight, starlight, or moonlight. If a flareater's hit dice plus its positive levels adds up to 12 or  more, it automatically splits into two identical 6 HD flareaters, each  with half of the original's current hit points (round down).Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a flareater  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 can constrict.Skills: A flareater has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.</blockquote>
