 The desiccated cube’s surface has hardened as it dried out, so it no longer paralyses by touch.  It now has 7 rPD vs. blunt weapons and 4 rPD versus blades.  It attacks with its Pseudopod and will engulf unconscious foes to start digesting them.  Digestion of engulfed people acts as a 1 BODY Drain on all organics (including clothing and gear) each of its Phases until the cube is killed or the body fully digested.  Once 10 bodies have been consumed, the desiccated cube will resume being a standard gelatinous cube.
