Sunlight Vulnerability (Ex)

Exposing a vampiric ooze to direct sunlight staggers it on the first round, and it is destroyed utterly in the next round if it cannot escape.

ECOLOGY

Treasure none

The vampiric ooze is thought to have been created by a great undead spellcaster using ancient and forbidden magic. Some believe the vampiric ooze was formed when an ochre jelly slew a vampire and absorbed it. It can alter its shape so as to appear up to 12 feet long and 6 inches thick; it can also compress its body to slip through cracks as small as 1 inch wide. It spends its time slithering along floors, walls, and ceilings, or if above ground, hunting its prey at night.

A vampiric ooze attempts to envelop and constrict its prey, dealing negative levels with its slam attack.
