Traits

Amorphous. The coldfire ooze can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.

Coldfire. The cold damage a coldfire ooze deals ignores cold resistance. Creatures immune to cold treat their cold immunity as resistance to cold damage instead.

Ignite. If a creature or a flammable object takes cold damage from the coldfire ooze, the target ignites. Until the target is dealt fire damage, it takes 3 (1d6) cold damage at the start of each of its turns.

Illumination. The coldfire ooze sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

Spider Climb. The coldfire ooze can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Actions

Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) slashing damage and 14 (4d6) cold damage.

Coldfire Flare (Recharge 6). The coldfire ooze expels coldfire in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If a significant amount of flammable material ignites due to this flare, the area deals damage as the Ignite trait to objects and to creatures who enter the area for the first time on a turn or who end their turn there. This damage from coldfire also subjects targets to Ignite.

Reactions

Split. When a coldfire ooze that is Medium or larger is subjected to cold or slashing damage, it splits into two new oozes if it has at least 10 hit points. Each new ooze has hit points equal to half the original ooze’s, rounded down. New oozes are one size smaller than the original ooze.

Description

“Coldfire’s a menace, sure, but at least it doesn’t move around on its own. Why are you staring at me like that?”

Spreading Corruption. Coldfire oozes spread coldfire throughout the north. Corrupted slurries of ice and snow, coldfire oozes have become a menace to frontier towns among the Valikan Clans.

Burning Slime. Those who first faced coldfire oozes didn’t realize how the slimes could split. This mistake in the first skirmishes allowed the oozes to further multiply. Now, they can be found all over the northern wilds.

Ooze Nature. A coldfire ooze doesn’t require sleep.

Habitat: Arctic
