This monster is transparent and almost impossible to discover (5% chance
of spotting). It inhabits dungeons and other dark places, and does not
normally attack its prey immediately (10% chance of immediate attack).
The tracker usually follows the chosen victim to the place where the victim
sleeps, and only when its prey is asleep will it strike. Because of its semi-
fluid body, the slithering tracker can flow through openings as small as a
rat hole or a large crack under a door. Attack is by contact with the
exposed flesh of its prey, and the secretions of the monster will paralyze
the victim unless a save vs. Paralyzation is made. Once the
victim is immobilized the 'tracker will draw all the plasma from the body
of its prey in 6 turns.
