Special Abilities

Buoyant (Ex) A mucilaginous cloud is naturally buoyant. It can hover as part of any action it takes without needing to roll a check. If unable to take actions, it naturally floats in the air, moving with air currents. Camouflaging Haze (Ex) Mucilaginous clouds are translucent, but their skin interacts with the environment to produce a camouflaging haze that matches the color of the surrounding atmosphere. While camouflaged, a mucilaginous cloud appears to be merely a patch of fog or a cloud. This camouflage provides a +10 bonus to Stealth checks while in fog, smoke, or clouds, and it allows a mucilaginous cloud to attempt a Stealth check even when lacking cover or concealment. Once a creature succeeds at a Perception check to realize a mucilaginous cloud is more than it appears, the ooze loses the benefit of this camouflage against that creature until the creature can no longer see the ooze. Once a mucilaginous cloud has swallowed a victim whole, that ooze can’t use its camouflaging haze until the victim is digested (in 2 to 6 hours) or escapes.
