Starmetal Eater Grafts Inubrix Eater (CR 3+) Source Alien Archive 4 pg. 117 Pale and ghostly in appearance due to a molecular alignment that allows them to pass through objects, inubrix eaters resemble glistening silvery clouds more than animate masses of metal. They often rest in a torpor within walls or ceilings. Required Creature Type: Ooze. Required Array: Combatant. Traits: Blindsense (scent [inubrix only]) 1 mile, blindsight (vibration) 60 ft.; mindless; ooze immunities; out of phase (see below); sightless.

Abilities: Temporal Dilation (Ex) A horacalcum eater slows incoming projectiles, and ranged attacks against it have a 20% chance of missing. Temporal Stutter (Su) A creature struck by a horacalcum eater is staggered for 1 round (Fortitude DC 19 negates). If the target succeeds at the save, it instead gains a +10- foot enhancement bonus to each of its movement speeds for 1 round. A creature struck multiple times can be both staggered and accelerated by a horacalcum eater. Noqual Eater (CR 3+) Source Alien Archive 4 pg. 117 Green, crystalline noqual eaters move in clunky spasms rather than with the smooth motion of other starmetal eaters.

Abilities: Unraveling Touch (Su): If a noqual eater’s slam attack critically hits a magic or hybrid item (or a creature carrying such an item), one of those items (selected at random) loses all its magical abilities for 1d4 rounds, becoming a normal item of its type. A successful Will save (using the ooze’s ability DC) negates this effect and makes that item immune to unraveling touch for 24 hours. If the item is held or worn by a creature, the item uses its bearer’s Will save modifier in place of its own, if better. Upon draining an item, the noqual eater takes force damage equal to the item’s level. If the noqual eater is at least CR 15, the drain effect lasts for 24 hours.
