Rust

When a rust ooze critically succeeds at a pseudopod Strike, it deals 2d6 acid damage to a metal item the target is wearing or holding, ignoring the item's Hardness. If a creature uses the Shield Block reaction with a metal shield against a rust ooze's pseudopod attack, the shield is automatically broken, but no other item is rusted.
