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.
