Amorphous. The ooze can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Spider Climb. The bloodbloat can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.
Multiattack. The bloodbloat attacks twice with its slam.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+3) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) necrotic damage.
Pull the Blood (Recharge 5-6). The bloodbloat draws out the blood from living creatures in a 30-foot radius around it. Each living creature in the radius must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, suffering 28 (8d6) necrotic damage on a failure, or half as much on a success. The bloodbloat regains hp equal to 10 + the number of targets affected. Bloodbloats and other oozes are immune to this effect.
Description
In the Abyss, few things are as they seem. Blood pools in many layers, running in great rivers and creating lakes in others, and sometimes these grotesque liquids give rise to bloodbloats. A bloodbloat is a walking, vaguely humanoid oozing blood pile. It is intelligent, but the creature is driven by an all-consuming hunger for fresh blood from living victims. It speaks Abyssal in a gurgling, drowned voice, taunting its blood-filled foes. A bloodbloat can be of almost any color given the number of living creatures in the multiverse that have blood, and on the Abyss variations of green, black, and yellow are not uncommon. Red is the most commonly encountered color however.
In the Wake of the Blood War. When demons and devils clash in the eternal battlefields of the Blood War, bloodbloats are often born as a result of the wild and chaotic energies leftover. Fiendish blood is often black or sickly green, and the ooze monstrosities bear the same likeness when they pull themselves up from the blasted ground. Scavengers of such battles often have to fight packs of bloodbloats as they all squabble over the discarded remnants of the skirmish.
Geysers of the Crimson Canyons. Bloodbloats can appear on any Abyssal layer that features blood in its geography or makeup, but they are famous on the 34th layer known as the Crimson Canyons. There, the deep red rocks of the broken landscape are littered with spontaneous geysers that erupt in huge plumes of crimson blood pulled from somewhere deeper in the plane. Bloodbloats are drawn to this layer and revel in the spilled blood.
