A quivering pile of tumorous flesh, this Creature leaves a trail of slime as it hungrily searches for sustenance.

Created in a laboratory by an alchemist researching methods of regenerating human flesh, a Hungry Flesh is a freakish Creature made of aggressive, malignant tissue. It lives only to feed and grow, and must consume large amounts of plant and Animal matter to sustain itself. Each day, a Hungry Flesh must consume its own weight in food. A Hungry Flesh resists attempts to cut or pierce it, quickly repairing the Damage and creating new fleshy growths. With the right food and attacks to catalyze its growth, a Hungry Flesh can balloon to twice its normal size in minutes. A Hungry Flesh can grow to Gargantuan size.

A Hungry Flesh starts out at approximately 7 feet in diameter, and weighs 3,000 pounds.

Special Abilities

Disease (Ex) Tumor Infestation : Injury; Save Fort DC 17; Onset 1 minute; Frequency 1/day; Effect 1d2 Con and 1d2 Cha; Cure 2 consecutive saves. Anyone who dies from tumor infestation turns into a Hungry Flesh 1d4 hours later. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Monstrous Growth (Ex) A Hungry Flesh gains growth points from its reactive Regeneration ability or from eating creatures. When it consumes a Creature that's been dead no more than an hour, it gains 1 growth point if that Creature is of its size or one size category smaller, or 2 growth points if its meal is larger than it is. Eating a Creature takes a full-round Action if it is the same size or smaller than the Hungry Flesh or 1 minute if it is larger. Each time a Hungry Flesh reaches 5 growth points, it gains the giant Creature simple template. This template stacks with itself each time the Hungry Flesh gains another 5 growth points, but the Hungry Flesh can't increase its size beyond Gargantuan. When it stops gaining growth points, a Hungry Flesh loses a single application of the giant Creature simple template for each hour that passes.

Reactive Regeneration (Ex) Whenever a Hungry Flesh takes piercing or slashing Damage, it regenerates 5 Hit Points and gains 1 growth point.

Slime Trail (Ex) A Hungry Flesh leaves behind a trail of slime that acts as a Grease Spell (DC 17). Any living Creature that touches this slime with bare flesh must succeed at a Fortitude save (with a +4 bonus) or contract tumor infestation. The slime dries up after 1 minute. The save DC is Constitution-based.
