Homebrew Aberrant Ooze Species Details

The birth of an Aberrant Ooze is an uncommon and often inauspicious event. They begin their lives as a simple nodule of collected cells, typically forming in oozes who have managed to survive for several centuries. As this nodule grows and forms a core it begins developing a consciousness of its own, separate from that of its ooze host body. It is at this point that ooze host will recognize this core as a foreign body and discard it. Depending on their environment many of these cores will not survive this separation, those that do however will use what little ooze they were able to retain from their host to begin feeding. It will retain this small amount of ooze throughout its life cycle to be used for feeding, however all new ooze generated by the core will have lost this acidic property instead taking on a more elastic and easily shaped form. As the Aberrant Ooze feeds and gains more mass it sees a similar increase in its intelligence. When the ooze has taken on enough mass it begins manifesting a more humanoid shape, forming limbs and extremities, in order to become more similar in appearance to other sentient beings that it has observed. It is at this point that the Aberrant Ooze will typically cease its growth as all further nutrients go towards the taxing process of retaining its form.
