SPECIAL ABILITIES

Compression (Ex)

A surveillance ooze can move through an area as small as one-quarter its space without squeezing, or one-eighth its space when squeezing.

Mindless (Ex)

A mindless creature has no Intelligence score and is immune to mind-affecting effects. Statistics such as ability DCs that rely on an Intelligence score treat its Intelligence modifier as +0.

Ooze Immunities (Ex)

Oozes have immunity to the following effects, unless the effect specifies that it works against oozes: critical hits, mind-affecting effects, paralysis, polymorph effects, poison, sight-based effects, sleep, and the Stunned”>stunned condition. An ooze can’t be flanked.

Replay (Su)

A surveillance ooze has been created to capture and relay events to a master. A creature who remains in contact with a surveillance ooze for 1 minute (such as by laying a hand on the ooze) gains a series of mental impressions effectively replaying the last hour experienced by the ooze (though this information is limited to nonvisual senses only, as the ooze is sightless and cannot record things it cannot perceive).

The creature experiencing this replay effect is subject to the ooze’s paralysis effect, though a successful saving throw grants it immunity to this effect for the duration of the replay.

Sightless (Ex)

This creature has no visual senses and is thus immune to effects that require the target to see (such as gaze attacks or visual-only illusions).
