PF #25's sewer encounter brought up an interesting question. What effect would an obscuring mist spell have on a patch of shriekers?
IMHO, it would obscure their light sources. Do shriekers have some kind of tremorsense that alerts them to movement? (That would no rely on visual cues)

MM1 Plant traits say that plants have low light vision!
I would say they have Tremorsense of sorts.
Thanks.

In the Pathfinder RPG, shriekers are no longer actual monsters but hazards; see page 416 of the Core RPG. The rules are a bit sketchy for exactly how they work though, alas, so it's probably best for the GM to make some spot decisions when it comes to unusual situations like obscuring mist.
That said... I would probably allow obscuring mist to defeat shriekers, since they're not supposed to be supertough hazards. They don't even have CR scores!

Abbreviating it "Ob. Mist" makes me think it's some sort of special attack belched out of Obox-ob, the obyrith lord of scorpions and other gross things. That's probably just me, though.

Sometimes you are just plain weird :)
