Ooze Nature

You are considered both an ooze and a humanoid. You can be affected by a game effect if it works on either of these creature types.

Engulf

Instead of grappling a creature with your arms, you can take hold of a creature with your ooze like body. When grappling you can use your Constitution in place of your Strength. Additionally, as an action, you can attempt to engulf an object or creature of your size or smaller within 5 ft. of yourself. The creature must succeed a Dexterity saving throw or be grappled by you. A creature grappled this way is partially engulfed in your body and restrained for the duration of the grapple. You can have one creature or object grappled this way at a time. The DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Pseudopod

Amorphous

Eldritch

Rising from the depths of the Underdark, Eldritch Slime Folk have a much more unearthly appearance, modeling after their abyssal neighbors.

As well, due to their habitat, these slime folk are far more flexible in both mind and body than the usual- their gelatin is almost rubberlike, and their nature much calmer.

Their adaptability makes them natural charmers, due to their attunement to the nature of the abyss; compared to what they‘ve seen in the Underdark, the workings of the human mind are easy to comprehend.
