Acidic Excretions (Ex) Slurrakh can use its very own excretions to clean, polish, and shape bones and other materials, allowing him to use its Craft skill and Craft Wondrous Item feat without need for additional tools. Slurrakh also treats all Craft and Profession skills as class skills.

Oozing (Ex) Slurrakh oozing mass is not hindered by difficult terrain and it can even move around smaller obstacles. Slurrakh can also easily pass through almost any opening, though it takes a while to move such mass through openings of less than three feet across.

Quick Grab (Ex) Slurrakh can make a grapple check as a swift action against an already grappled creature.

Swallow (Ex) When Slurrakh pins a creature with a successful grapple check, it can choose to engulf the creature within own gelatinous body, freeing its appendages. At the beginning of its turn, Slurrakh can chose to deal 4d6 points of acid damage to the swallowed creature, heal it for 4d6 points of damage, hold the creature without harming it, or expel the victim from its body, pushing it 1d3 × 5 feet away in the direction of Slurrakh choice. Swallowed creature can try to escape the pin as normal, though Slurrakh's CMD is increased by 10 in such situation. Because of the composition of Slurrakh's gelatinous flesh, the swallowed creature doesn't suffocate, but it can't speak. Slurrakh can keep single Medium or four Small creatures swallowed at the same time.

Thrown Slime (Ex) Slurrakh can make ranged attacks by slinging bits of its own acidic excretions, making thrown attack rolls with range increment of 20 feet, and dealing 2d6 points of acid damage on hit. Creatures struck by the slime become entangled for 1d4 rounds unless they make a successful reflex saving throw (DC 18). The saving throw DC is Dexterity-based and includes a +2 racial bonus.

Slurrakh The Polisher is a fully sapient ooze, in fact more intelligent than an average humanoid, thank you very much. It is a polite being, mostly interested in collecting various skulls and other bones, the more exotic the better, though Slurrakh's definition of what constitutes an exotic bone might differ from an average adventurer. In fact, "the Polisher" in Slurrakh's name refers to its exceptional skill in handling bones and crafting them into various trinkets, often used as payment for even more interesting bones.
