Sickstone Elemental: Dungeon 132

[Greyson]

Hey, all.

-------- A Spoiler Follows --------

My question stems from Campbell Pentney's "Caverns of the Ooze Lord" from Dungeon 132. The stat block for the Sickstone Earth Elemental on page 52 is missing the earth glide special ability, which an earth elemental usually has per Monster Manual. It is a huge size creature. And, earth glide can be very handy for it in those small caverns.

Does this earth elemental not have earth glide becasue of its sickstone affliction? Or, is it simply missing from the stat block?

The sickstone elemental does have earth glide; it's listed under its Special Qualities (SQ) in its stat block. We didn't reprint it becasue this ability is already in the Monster Manual.

Yeah, those SQ sections come quite in handy. I didn't realize that the Acidwraith from "The Prince of Redhand" has SR until I looked more closely at its statblock.
