The creature has mutated enough to stand up on its own, and is growing at a remarkable pace. The foul fluids seem to be flowing into it, being absorbed by the creature and leaving only pure water behind. What looks like a near-humanoid face is growing on its "head," making its mouth seem a bit less out of place.
Now that it has the ability to do so, it begins to be more scrutinizing with what it eats, taking more protein and fat than bones.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
'What kind of creature are ya?' the kid asks, curious.
Without turning toward the kid, the creature gets up onto its knees and raises its arms to the heavens as though in praise.
"A child... of the one true God..."
Its voice sounds like that of a happy child no older than four, but also like that of an exhausted man on the brink of hysteria. The mix is uncanny, too close to not be human but too far to be the voice of a person.

"Well sir, we have had 2 unexpected arrivals, one seems to be a pale humanoid, and readings showed almost identical to a human. They claim to be a vampire. The second... thing had readings off the chart. Advising it's isolation and surveillance."

Verdan pokes his head out of the room and yells at Monty, "FIRST UP, I'M A DROW! SECOND, I'M A DHAMPIR FOR LATHANDER'S SAKE, NOT LIKE [EXPLETIVE REMOVED] COUNT STRAHD VON ZAROVICH!!" Upon also hearing unfamiliar voices, he instinctively places a hand over his holstered semi-automatic pistol and wanders into the portal room.
Upon seeing the scene there, he quickly changes his mind about the pistol and instead reaches into a thickly-padded pouch on his coat, withdrawing three vials of holy water. His skin seems even more pale in their faint light and his eyes start to tear up from holding the consecrated liquid, but he holds his ground and takes his aim...

Disclaimer: I'm not an optimizer. If I say something that's not fine-tuned to perfection, that's on purpose. D&D isn't an online tournament, it's a TTRPG where your imagination and the DM's compliance are the limits. I don't do "metas". If I can have fun with my thematically cool and still viable (both in and out of combat) concept, I'm happy. I'm not going for optimal stats; I'm going for optimal fun.
*And yes, the dhampir keeps holy water on him. He's a monster hunting monster lol*
*Lore-wise though, he's actually a Gloom Stalker ranger, so don't go anywhere without light unless you're his friend. With 180 feet of darkvision and invisibility to anyone who relies on said darkvision to see in the dark, there's nothing more terrifying than hearing the breath of someone right next to you that you can't see*

The creature has assimilated over half of the biomass in the room. It now resembles a humanoid in the vaguest sense, looking as much like a human as some sort of aquatic animal.
The fluid on the floor has been reduced to nothing but water, with small amounts of blood trickling out of the chunks of flesh.

"Indeed, that is my name. Verdan Fulesso. And you are?" Verdan reluctantly puts the vials back in their pouch, secretly relieved to once again have their sacred power away from his unholy nature.
