Special Abilities

Exquisite Aroma (Ex) All living creatures that were exposed to slooshp's smell or taste and survived (or were revived afterwards) have to succeed a Will saving throw (DC 15) or become obsessed with repeating the experience. Each month, they have to succeed an another Will saving throw or they will focus on taking actions that would let them repeat the experience (either by seeking existing slooshpies or trying to recreate one or more—personally or by sponsoring someone more capable of doing that). Each failed saving throw grants a permanent cumulative –1 penalty to further Will saving throws against this obsession. This obsession can be cured by succeeding the monthly saving throw three consecutive times, use of modify memory spell (or similar magical effects) to forget the experience or using limited wish or more powerful effect to remove obsession directly. Note that the already accumulated penalty will affect further Will saving throws when exposed to any slooshp's aroma, even if the obsession itself was cured (unless a full wish was employed). Non-intelligent creatures are incapable of working toward creation of a slooshp, being merely obsessed with its taste. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Recombined Flavors (Ex and Su) A living creature that suffers Dexterity damage from a slooshp's pseudopod in excees of its Dexterity score disolves into a pool of multicolored jelly. A slooshp can absorb the resulting mass by standing over such pool for a full round. If such dissolved creature remains unabsorbed, it can be returned to natural form with break enchantment, limited wish, or polymorph any object. Otherwise, the victim will reform as a member of random species after 1d6 × 10 minutes as if reincarnated (though without suffering any negative levels).

Sticky Trail (Ex) Moving slooshp leaves behind a trail of sticky residue turning the ground behind it a difficult terrain for the next 10 minutes. Any corporeal creature moving through the sticky trail becomes stuck for 1d4 rounds on a failed Reflex saving throw (DC 15). Sloorks are immune to effects of sticky trail. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Slooshpies were result of gnomish attempt at creation of supreme, self-replicating dessert, a sweet jelly full of caleidoscopically shifting flavors. They are generally considered a failure, except for a fraction of people who had a chance of tasting one.

Slooshpies are easily attracted to spices and seasonings within range of their scent.
