Thanks again for reading Frightful Fridays! I'll "C" you tomorrow.
This pathetic-looking, pink, amorphous fish mills around on the lake’s floor and engulfs the occasional unwary fish in its blobby flesh.

Special Abilities
Malleable Flesh (Ex) A blobfish can fit through any space by rearranging its flesh and bones. This grants the creature a +8 circumstance bonus to Escape Artist checks to fit through tight spaces.
While a giant blobfish may seem pitiful and unable to protect itself, it is a surprising predator in the waters where it resides. A blobfish typically measures 8 feet in length and weighs roughly 400 pounds.
A blobfish is an opportunistic hunter and preys on fish or other aquatic organisms obviously weaker than itself. The creature relishes its victim’s struggles as the unfortunate target suffocates and dissolves within the creature’s flesh. A victim that thinks itself clever, by darting into a tiny space that it believes safe from the larger blobfish, meets a shocking and deadly end when the blobfish fits itself into its victim’s safe-no-longer hidey hole.
For those adventurers brave enough to encounter and defeat a blobfish, and smart enough to recognize the creature’s usefulness, the blobfish makes up the primary ingredient in a powerful alchemical concoction. A single blobfish allows a character with ranks in Craft (alchemy) to produce up to 5 vials of blobfish elixir.

Blobfish Elixir
Price 100 gp; Weight —
After imbibing this foul tasting liquid, the drinker’s flesh and bones become extremely pliable. This elixir grants a +10 alchemical bonus on Escape Artist checks and also gives the imbiber the equivalent to light fortification (25% chance for normal damage on a successful critical hit). The elixir lasts for 4 hours, after which the imbiber takes 1d4 Strength damage as his body resets itself. A character wishing to create a blobfish elixir must succeed at a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) check.
