Cologne sighed. "Ranma? I believe you just opened your mouth again and dared the universe to come hurt you?"
"Huh?" asked Ranma.
Cologne's staff pointed to the door where a black sludge was oozing through the cracks.
"Huh?" repeated Ranma.
Streamers of black sludge began forming a pillar which rapidly increased in size.
"Uhm," said Ranma. "That's not quite what I had in mind. I was aiming for some martial artist type?"
Cologne hopped over to a crate and sat down. "Go to it, son-in-law. I believe your 'mid-boss' has just arrived."
Two extensions became sloppily designed arms as the creature reached nine feet in height. With a final dribble of black goo from the door, the creature raised those arms. "Grarrrrrrr."
"You girls stay behind me where it's safe. Well, this'll be quick," said Ranma, rushing forward before leaping and sweeping a leg out in a kick.
SPLUSH! went the kick, going through the monster.
"Heh heh, I said it would be quick," said Ranma, smirking.
"Grar!" argued the monster.
"Huh?" asked Ranma again, then chided himself for saying that so many times.
"It's not solid, son-in-law," pointed out Cologne. "It simply flowed around your kick and reformed afterwards."
"Oh?" asked Ranma, eyes narrowed as he tried to figure a way out of this. The old ghoul could lend him a hand, but nooooo. Has to sit back and kibbutz. Now this thing was after him! "Let's see it 'flow around' this! Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken!"

"It's doing it," helpfully pointed out Cologne.
"Aw, shaddup you old ghoul! I don't see YOU helping!" snarled Ranma.
"I'm not the one who required a 'mid-boss'," pointed out Cologne. "My plan was sneak quietly away, if you remember."
SPLUNCH!
Ranma reeled as one of the "arms" lengthened and formed a mallet head which smashed down on him. He started dodging, figuring out what he could of this monster. It could change its composition from watery to thick sludge, change its shape, and seemed to ignore Cologne and the girls to go after him...
