Sighted (Ex) A mercurian can perceive light coming from one direction at a time using a portion of its body surface, in much the same way a human can perceive light using eyes. Unlike most oozes, a mercurian is not blind, doesn't have blindsense, is not immune to visual attacks, and can be flanked.
Unstable (Ex) A mercurian's body chemistry and surface tension exist in a state of tenuous equilibrium. Unlike most oozes, a mercurian is not immune to poison or stunning. Because its form is so easily displaced from its normal state, a mercurian also lacks immunity to polymorph effects.
Vaguely Humanoid (Ex) Though made of ooze, a mercurian's body retains a vaguely humanoid shape the majority of the time. A mercurian can wield and wear gear as if it were a humanoid creature, and has the same magic item body slots as a humanoid creature, accordingly.
