Traits

Amorphous. The ectoplasm can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.

Forming Pains. When an ectoplasm is created by another ectoplasm’s Cytokinesis, it cannot use it’s Cytokinesis until the end of its next turn. Additionally an ectoplasm spawned by Cytokinesis cannot use Ectoplasmic Profusion before it has finished a short or long rest.

Actions

Slime. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., range 20/40 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (4d8) acid damage.

Ectoplasmic Profusion. The cohesive ectoplasm merges with another cohesive ectoplasm within 5 feet to form a giant ectoplasm. The giant ectoplasm spawns in the same position of the merging. Any creature within 10 feet of the ectoplasm must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure the creature takes 10 (3d6) acid damage.

Cytokinesis (Recharge 4-6). The ectoplasm multiplies, spawning another cohesive ectoplasm within 5 feet of itself. The ectoplasm can only multiply twice per long rest.

Description

The corruption of the groves is best shown through these ectoplasmic aberrations, which can engulf man and beast alike. At first glance these creatures may appear non-threatening, but countless adventurers paid for their overconfidence with slow, painful, and cruel deaths. Although a single Ectoplasm is fairly weak and can be
destroyed with a righteous blow, it is capable of rapid reproduction.

Their ability for quick and sudden reproduction allows Ectoplasms to quickly replenish their numbers and overrun even the most seasoned of heroes. Worst still, they are able to merge into a much larger and much more dangerous entity.
