Special Abilities
Slime Cloud (Ex)
While underwater, as a free action, a Varisian hagfish can secrete slime that transforms a 5-foot cube of water into a transparent cloud of viscous slime. This slime is the aquatic equivalent of rough terrain, and creatures swimming through it expend 2 squares of movement. The slime cloud remains for 10 rounds before dissipating. Hagfish are unaffected by these slime clouds. The slime also grants the hagfish a +4 bonus on grapple checks.Ecology
Environment: Temperate AquaticOrganization: solitary, pair, or group (3-5)
Treasure: none
These cousins to normal hagfish most commonly appear in the Varisian Gulf.
They can reach lengths of 4 feet and weigh up to 15 pounds.
