Lava toxin. The ooze's body is as hot as lava and any grappled/restrained creatures must make a dc 14 Constitution saving throw or have their toxic lava like ooze get under/into their skin and for the following hour the creature takes 1d6 fire damage for the next 1 hour and count as poisoned.
Amorphous. The ooze can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
False Appearance. While the ooze remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a glob of lava or lava caked bolder or a puddle of lava.
(Var) Death throes. When the ooze is reduced to 0 hit points it explodes into burning globs of goo and each creature within 20 ft must make a dc 14 Constitution saving throw or take 9 (3d6) fire damage and 9 (3d6) bludgeoning damage, half as much on a successful save. Any creature within range is also subjected to its lava toxin trait.
Multi attack. The conflagration ooze makes two slam attacks.
Burning pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., 1 target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus 3 (1d6) fire damage and the ooze grapples the target ( escape dc 16).
Description
Most oozes are mindless hunters, stalking the shadowy places in a constant search for food. But magical or environmental accidents sometimes result in a new breed of monster. Such was the case with the conflagration ooze. Whether the result of some wild magical experiment, an environmental disaster, or something else entirely, conflagration oozes have demonstrated to the unwary that they should not be underestimated or trifled with. A conflagration ooze looks like a mass of liquid flame, barely held together by a transparent membrane. The fire that roars within it breaks through the protective outer skin on occasion, and the creature radiates an intense heat. The average conflagration ooze measures 8 feet across and weighs around 1,500 pounds. Conflagration oozes, unlike the majority of their ooze counterparts, are not mindless eaters. They possess a reasonable degree of intellect, allowing them to formulate tactics and basic strategy. One typically claims a series of caverns near a volcano or hot springs as a lair. It spends most of its time hunting, like other oozes, as it requires a great deal of energy to fuel the massive inferno raging within. Conflagration oozes also hoard treasure, and some have even been known to conduct magical research. Conflagration oozes love fire, and they sometimes wander out of their lairs to revel in the destruction and panic their coming brings as entire regions of land are consumed in their passing.
