Coagulat (Small)

Ooze Nature. The Coagulat doesn't require sleep.

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

Growth. The Coagulat grows to its Medium version after engulfing and consuming 3 Small creatures or 1 Medium creature.

Consume the Dead. The Coagulat can consume recently deceased targets that are one size category above its current size. This process takes 1 minute of uninterrupted contact with the corpse.

Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (2d4 + 1) bludgeoning damage plus 3 (1d6) necrotic damage.

Consume. The Coagulat moves up to its speed. While doing so, it can enter a Small or smaller creature's space. Whenever the Coagulat enters a creature's space, the creature must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. On a successful save, the creature can choose to be pushed 5 feet back or to the side of the Coagulat. A creature that chooses not to be pushed suffers the consequences of a failed saving throw. On a failed save, the Coagulat enters the creature's space, and the creature takes 7 (2d4 + 2) necrotic damage and is engulfed. The engulfed creature can't breathe, is restrained, and takes 7 (2d4 + 2) necrotic damage at the start of each of the Coagulat's turns. When the Coagulat moves, the engulfed creature moves with it. An engulfed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a DC 12 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the Coagulat. Any creature dropping to 0 HP while engulfed is killed and is consumed into the Coagulat.
