I hope you enjoy digesting the refluxfrog, beautifully rendered by Hugo Solis (https://deviantart.com/butterfrog). See you tomorrow (or, uh, later today, depending on where you are) with another monster!
Gurgribbit
This creature looks
like an enormous frog, but its body seems to be made entirely of liquid. Its
mouth dribbles acid which scores the ground and, when the creature burps, it
releases a small stream of sizzling liquid.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Acid Burn (Ex) A
refluxfrog’s attacks inflict acid burn which works like the burn special
attack, except it deals 1d6 points of acid damage to an affected creature at
the start of the affected creature’s turn.
Acid Death (Ex) A
refluxfrog explodes in a spray of fog that acts as an acid fog spell (caster level equals the refluxfrog’s HD). The fog
immediately deals 2d6 points of acid damage to each creature and object in the
area and at the refluxfrog’s initiative count in subsequent rounds.
Acid Reflux (Ex) Whenever
a creature strikes a refluxfrog with a manufactured piercing or slashing
weapon, the weapon takes 4d6 points of acid damage unless the attacker makes a
DC 18 Reflex save. Damage caused to weapons in this manner is not halved,
but hardness does help prevent some of the damage dealt. If a creature strikes
a refluxfrog with a natural weapon that deals piercing or slashing damage, it
takes 4d6 points of acid damage (DC 18 Reflex save for half). The save DCs
are Constitution-based.
Breath Weapon (Ex)
A refluxfrog can typically only use its breath weapon once per combat. For
every 15 points of acid damage it deals with its swallow whole ability, it must
use its breath weapon on its next turn. If a creature fails its Reflux save
against the refluxfrog’s breath weapon, it is affected by the refluxfrog’s acid
burn.
Refluxfrogs are unusual oozes that uniformly take the forms
of gigantic frogs. This gives credence to the notion that the oozes were
created by an intelligent race, but no explorers have turned up evidence of
their manufacture. The frog motif is reinforced with their long tongues, formed
from their membranous tissue. Rather than engulf their prey like most oozes,
they use their tongues to pull prey into their masses as if they were frogs
swallowing creatures they’ve ensnared. Refluxfrog bodies churn with acid, which
becomes hyperactively productive when they consume prey. This forces the oozes
to violently expel the acid moments after swallowing creatures.
Refluxfrogs stand 12 feet tall, are roughly 16 feet in
diameter, and weigh 2,000 pounds.
