Or the 'lesser' archomentals (Crystalle, Ehkahk, etc)? Perhaps around the level of Sun Sing? I've heard that she is taking over her father's work rather well, and could quite possibly be ranked among the real archomentals. She has some alliance with Jubilex? Which brings up another question. Is her alignment Neutral Evil? Chaotic Neutral?

Ehkahk is just a very ancient and smart mephit with class levels, though, while Sun Sing is a being powerful enough to change the nature of the Abyss with its mere taint. Bwimb 2.0 is probably the most powerful of ooze paraelementals (unless she has a good counterpart we're unaware of), so I'd expect her to be about the same level as Crystalle (most powerful of the mineral quasielementals), however powerful you think that is (Crystalle had stats in Dragon #174, but I wouldn't expect you translate him to d20/Dicefreaks directly). Neutral Evil sounds right, like the other archomentals of evil. Yes, she's has an alliance with Juiblex, or is courting one.

That was Chilimbia, the lava mephit/magma paraelemental hybrid. He was also trained in the art of torture by a pit fiend, and surpassed his master.

She has some alliance with Jubilex? Taking over her father's work would not make her an archomental, as Bwimb was explicitly not one.

Constrict (Ex): Bwimb can constrict with a successful grapple check. Improved Grab (Ex): Bwimb must hit a creature of Large size or smaller with a slam attack to use this ability. Bwimb is not considered grappled when using this ability, and she can make slam attacks (and possibly more grapples) as normal.

Those taking acid damage from Bwimb’s attacks suffer half of the damage the following 5 rounds. DESIGNER NOTE: Keep in mind that the Princes of Elemental Evil in my builds have 40 to 48HD (unlike the excellent stats in Dragon Mag), so Bwimb is not overpowered compared to them.
