Special Abilities

Digest (Ex) An angry wall deals 6d6 points of acid damage on a successful grapple check to initiate or maintain a grapple.

Envelop (Ex) An angry wall makes a combat maneuver check to initiate or maintain grapple without provoking attacks of opportunity as a full-round action (or a standard action on a surprise round). Any humanoid creature (or at least humanoid-shaped) grappled by angry that fails a Reflex saving throw (DC 17) has its mouth covered enough to be muffled and can't speak. An angry wall has +4 racial modifier to its grapple checks. The saving throw DC is Dexterity-based.

Flat And Wide (Ex) Despite being a Medium creature, an angry wall doesn't have to occupy a 5-ft. square. Instead it can spread itself along a wall, on an edge of a 5-ft. square. An angry wall that remains motionless can take 20 on Stealth checks regardless of circumstances. It can also hide when out of sight by spreading along a wall, and remain hidden in plain sight. An angry wall takes on texture and color of nearby walls.

Walls are often considered safe, separating secure zones from outer wilds, protecting humanoids from monsters, and providing adventurers with cover...

Except when the wall itself becomes a threat.

Angry walls are surprisingly mobile, cunning, and aggressive oozes that developed ability to stretch itself along the walls and capture passersby.
