The erupting slime is, as expected, a slime--one which spits toxic slimeballs at targets, causing Toxic damage. This variant has has been altered to be in line with D&D 3.x oozes.
Behavior[]
Although the slime can shoot up to 100 yards, it has a very limited accuracy (Skill 12) and will generally be limited to a maximum of 20 or 30 yards. They're most dangerous when around dead bodies, where they can reproduce with supernatural speed. It takes about an hour for an erupting slime to convert a dead body into a new slime, so battlefields of the dead--including fallen undead--could spawn an entire swarm of slimes in a mere day.
