Mineral Shaping. The Crystal Ooze will take mineral it has ingested and turn them into edged and bashing weapons for the ends of it tentacles. Minerals it stores in its body are in their natural crystalline shape. It will pull minerals from rock and metals. It will ignore items made of biological like wood, fur, skin and feathers.
Damage transfer. Whenever the Crystal Ooze is damaged it transfers half the damage to anything it has grappled.
Edged Immunity. When attacked with a slashing or piercing weapon the creature will take no damage unless that weapon has another damage component such as fire, poison, etc.
Blindsight. The Crystal Ooze can perceive its surroundings without sight up to 40'.
Grapple. The Crystalline Ooze will attempt to grapple one opponent. On a successful grapple it will make a Stunning Tentacle Bash. The Crystal Ooze will retain the grapple and move to grapple another opponent and bash (up to 8 tentacles).
Stunning Tentacle Bash. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., 1 target. Hit: 17 (3d6 +8) Bludgeoning damage. On a hit the opponent must make a successful DC 15 vs constitution or be stunned. The opponent may attempt to become unstunned at the end of its turn each round.
Only after all opponents within a 30' range are grappled and stunned the Crystal Ooze will then attack each one with a Tentacle Slash per round.
Tentacle Slash. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 10 (1d4 +8) Slashing damage.
Melding As a bonus action the crystal ooze can meld into water or coat a 10' radius surface. This will increase its stealth by 15 in wet environments and by 5 in dry environments. Its AC will also increase by 5.
Polymorph As a bonus action the Crystal Ooze can polymorph into any shape from Medium to Huge size. If the object is metal, stone or crystalline in nature it can mimic it perfectly requiring a Perception DC 20 to tell it apart from similar objects. It the shape is natural (like an animal, humanoid, or plant) a Perception DC 10 will see the imperfections in the disguise.
Mineral Absorption. When attacked with a non-magical metal (or other mineral) weapon the Crystal Ooze will absorb the inorganic material from the weapon. For spears, arrows and bolts, the tips will be absorbed and the shafts ejected. For melee weapons the weapon will become -1 per attack.
