A swelling, malformed heap of slime creeps slowly forward, giving of an air of hunger & malevolence. Blister-like growths pepper its blotchy exterior, in between a lattice of throbbing veins.

Quite literally an ambulatory tumor, this strange being is a result of the bizarre regenerative properties of the Flesh Plane. Once it was merely a little clump of Cell Blocks (see below) reproducing out of control, the healing powers present on this plane (when combined with the mild Law-Alignment) organized the lump & gave it mobility. Now able to travel in search of food to sustain itself, this creature seeks to perpetuate its existence by multiplying; it will destroy & consume anything that gets in its way.

A Malignant Cancerebrum is about 3’ across & weighs about 35 pounds. Being mindless, it speaks no language.

• Draining Ray (Su): once per round, a Cancerebrum can emit a 20’ cone of draining light from one of its psuedopods; all living creatures struck by this injurious beam must succeed a Fortitude save (DC16) or suffer 1 point of Constitution damage; every point of damage successful dealt gives the Cancerebrum 1 temporary hit point

• Rapid Growth (Ex): a Cancerebrum gains 1 Hit Die every hour, until it reaches 10 Hit Die, at which point it will Split

• Split (Ex): slashing & piercing weapons deal no damage to a Cancerebrum; instead the creature splits into 2 identical Cancerebrums, each with ½ of the original’s current hit points (rounded down); a Cancerebrum with 10HP or less cannot be further split and dies if reduced to 0HP; a Cancerebrum will also split on its own if it reaches its maximum HD (10)
