Caustigus

Caustiguses (singular: caustigus) are solitary, animalistic creatures that haunt the acid swamps of Solfor. They have two legs and four, very flexible arms, all of which heal rapidly during combat. Their tough, slimy skin is highly resistant to corrosion, enabling them to travel through the acid swamps unassisted. "Caustigs" are highly capable in their home environment, and are remarkably quiet. They are tough, but mortal, and they cannot regenerate damage to the head.
===The Acid Swamps===
The “water” in these dark swamps is a thick, soupy acid. Use the rules on p. B61 and p. B428, but this acid is fairly weak; it does only 1d-4 cor- rosion damage on a splash, 1d-2 per second on immersion, or 2d+1 if swallowed. Also, it does not affect earth, most types of stone, glass, and a few organic materials, including the weird swampland vegetation and the skins of both caustiguses and reptile men.
In fact, such skins could be fashioned into a container for the liquid, though reptile men might have their own opinions of that idea. Reptile men still take damage if they swallow swamp-acid; caustiguses seem unaffected, but they do have regenerative abilities.
