About this creature

Mucous salamanders, or pinkish salamanders, are amphibians native to the bogs of Yavin 4. They possess the distinct ability to diffuse their molecular structures underwater, which allow them to swim faster and pass through hunters' nets. When a mucous salamander enters dry areas, it cN change its molecular structure into hardened scales for protection from predators, particularly the angler.

Traits

Shifting Molecules

When the salamander enters or exits water, it changes the form of its molecular structure to mimic its surroundings. Other than its AC, its statistics are the same in each form. Any object it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed.

Amphibious

The salamander can breathe air and water.

Diffuse Body

The salamander can move through other creatures and objects no more than 10 feet in diameter as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) kinetic damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Spider Climb

The salamander can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Spiked Hide

Any creature that grapples the salamander takes 3 (1d6) kinetic damage at the end of its turn.
