Organic matter is liquefied by the agents of decay and pressurized by tight spaces into the shapes of prismatoids. Galvanized by a cousin-instinct to hunger, the gelatin entity now extrudes itself forward in prism form.
A gelatinous prism is a tier 5 creature belonging to the oozes faction, and is typically found deep underground.
Gelatinous prisms attack by moving close to their target and engulfing them when the prism is within an adjacent tile. While engulfing a target, the prism will inhabit the same tile as the creature they are engulfing, and will remain completely stationary.[1] Creatures who are being engulfed by a gelatinous prism cannot be attacked by other creatures, and attempting to do so will instead damage the gelatinous prism itself.
Creatures being engulfed by the gelatinous prism will be unable to move; attempting to move will instead perform a melee attack against the prism. Additionally, certain physical actions, such as Charge, Juke, and Jump, cannot be used.[2] The creature will take 3-7 damage every round while being engulfed.[3][4]
The gelatinous prism will continue to engulf its target until either it or its target dies. A creature can also escape being engulfed by teleporting, being displaced, such as by a displacer bracelet, or becoming out-of-phase.
Cloning
When a gelatinous prism engulfs a creature, a timer is started that begins at 10[4]and decrements by 1 every round. When the timer reaches 0, the prism will "refract" the creature it is engulfing, creating a perfect copy of them in a random adjacent tile. This will fail if the gelatinous prism is being affected by normality. The clone produced will be aligned with highly entropic beings, will be colored white, will be named "Refracted [creature name]", and will be hostile to the original creature.[5][6] However, they will refrain from attempting to attack the creature until they are no longer engulfed.
After the prism has created a clone, its timer will reset and the cycle will repeat. There is technically no limit to how many clones the prism can create; however, it will not be able to produce any more if it is surrounded on all sides by walls or creatures (including existing clones).
