Special Abilities

Molecular Mimicry (Ex) As a standard action, a cargo creep can alter its physical composition to match a material within reach of its tentacle. When it does so, it gains a specific benefit and a vulnerability to a specific energy type based on the material. In addition, the cargo creep gains a +4 circumstance bonus to Disguise and Stealth checks when attempting to imitate or hide among that material, such as disguising itself as a metal plate in metallic form or hiding among plants in vegetation form. A cargo creep can match one of the following materials and can revert back to its default flesh state as a move action. The above cargo creep begins in its flesh state. Flesh: When a cargo creep touches the flesh, fur, scales, or other skin covering of a creature, it gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Reflex saving throws and a vulnerability to acid. Metallic: When a cargo creep touches worked metal, it gains DR 5/adamantine and a vulnerability to electricity. Mineral: When a cargo creep touches natural, nonworked minerals such as stones and gems, it gains a +1 circumstance bonus to KAC and a vulnerability to sonic. Synthetic: When a cargo creep touches material like fibers, plastics, and polymers, it gains a +1 circumstance bonus to EAC and a vulnerability to cold. Vegetation: When a cargo creep touches natural plant matter (including that of plant creatures) or worked wood, it gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Fortitude saving throws and a vulnerability to fire.
