<div>This is just one man's opinion but ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>a) Use the movement rate in the rule set you use for your campaign. In water I would let them either move attached to a surface in which case the movement rate is the same as on land, or float like a manowar or jellyfish.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>b) I would say their sensory range should be a yard or so away at the most. if you want to get scientific about it (not always a good thing when it comes to fantasy games) you can compare to earth creatures. This is a creature with very low speed, and no IQ, very much like a jellyfish, amoeba of fungus it eats whatever it encounters. Thus it has no need for any senses at all really really, or if it has senses wouldn't have a sensory range beyond what it can reach immediately, i.e whatever it can reach withing a few seconds. This presumes there is some kind of selection involved in it's creation. If it is a created being it can conceivably have any abilities, like sense power items a kilometer away, but even then if it there is a sensible creator at work he/she/it wouldn't give it senses it has no use for, i.e. again only let it sense things it stands a reasonable chance to get to considering it's total lack of intelligence.</div>

<div>Hope this helps.</div>
