Homebrew adaptel Species Details

they are a slime race that adapts to every environment i mean every even vacuum they are somewhat elemental as in the originate from the elemental planes including vacuum they are able to take features of stuff they eat like if one eats a dragon it could grow wings they are also kinda sticky which is how they climb they are also immune to fall damage cause no bones or organs to damage they sort of just absorb things slimes from any sort of fire based realm are typically hot to the touch and are a bit more violent not evil just violent ones from earth based realms are typically tougher and can burrow any air based adaptels are typically shunned cause they don't do much of anything and usually just fall any water based ones are pretty standard for slime like stuff squishy fluid like almost kinda see through they also don't need to breathe eat or sleep they do sleep but mostly by just becoming a puddle they don't actually go unconscious and can still move but they just cant retain a humanoid shape except the earth based ones they have to sleep and do turn to stone when sleeping they also retain all the weird stuff they get from eating for a year before molting their skin they don't have an exoskeleton though they also love to eat gold and other valuable metals including iron they love shiny things also they are incredibly smart like put 1000 year old elf historian to shame smart they have an incredible memory and are fast to catch on to things and patterns they put humans to shame with the pattern recognition however they tend to suck at things like magic they may be smart but they are very malleable so most mages of this species tend to die faster and break from their own magic they are also sought after as slaves because they make for wonderful test subjects in spell testing there is a scared variant that has advantage against magic put they are pretty rare because they usually die before they can adapt so most adaptels hate mages also they tend to be immortal at least age wise because they don't really age they kinda just get bigger sometimes but usually only after eating a bunch of stuff so they tend to be very adventurous because well immortality hard to kill can travel through every environment why not adventure although the reproduction cycle of a adaptel is kinda weird cause they can just split or merge with another and then let the mixed version split off however they tend to become really exhausted after mating cause they have to basically cut off part of themselves to reproduce they can also inatly create portals but onyl to their home plane the matireal plane and the astral plane the orgin of their exsitence is unknown most scholars and even a few gods think that the elemental planes them selves gave themselves sentience and form to adventure but that is thought to be dumb by some other scholars
