Homebrew Devoured Species Details

These were the stories of a restless people who became something more after their demise, a simple mistake or ignorance can lead you to this fate.

I’d never given much thought to slimes throughout my life, of course when I learned of their existance I was curious about them, in fact I wondered what it was like to be devoured by a slime, what does the inside of a slime feel like, these questions led me to stick my hand into a slime, unable to retract it I was pulled completely in and devoured. When I awoke my body was Different, I had luckily been revived but now my body its transparent, squishy, I can even see my own skeleton through this thick black slime. I love it.

— Kuroko Meian, The First Devoured

Devoured are usually capable of magic as their soul needs to remain inside the slime and be revivified while the slime covers their remains. A devoured can be of any race, you just have to be stupid or lustful enough to become a slimes meal. The poor slimes soul is usually destroyed in the process as it is not strong enough to fend off the devoureds revived soul. Devoured keep their normal appearance during the day, their skin, organs, everything return to normal during this time, However, Their saliva and sweat will remain as slime. Additionally at night, devoured are unable to retain their normal form, taking form of a humanoid slime, their skeleton floating inside.

What Have I Become

Devoured typically possess a gelatinous, malleable body, while at rest appear as a puddle of watery goo. which can vary in color and transparency based on the variant of slime that devoured them. They often exude a soft glow, especially when channeling magical energy. Despite their seemingly fluid nature, they can maintain a humanoid shape at will, though they may occasionally display amorphous features such as pseudopods or tendrils. Their gelatinous bodies grant them a degree of flexibility and resilience not found in typical humanoid races. They can squeeze through tight spaces as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing, absorb minor physical impacts, and even regenerate minor injuries over time. 

Extreme Adaptability

Devoured are extremely adaptable, able to change their shape while in slime form and keeping their original form during the day. They also seem to be ageless, all Devoured stop aging, keeping their age for the rest of the time they are alive. Such a long life allows the Devoured to pick up many skills along the way.

Slime Form Properties

While in slime form you are naturally corrosive, Poor Quality metals, woods and other organic materials can be dissolved if they come into contact with your slime. Additionally this extends to flesh which is extremely vulnerable to your corrosive properties, If struck with an unarmed attack, the attacker must make a Constitution Saving throw or take 2d6 Acid Damage, on a successfull save the attacker will only take half of the damage.

Involuntary Digestion: Anything you touch or hold begins to slowly dissolve, your body quite literally feeding on whatever it comes into contact with. after 4 minutes most organic materials would have completely dissolved inside of you, Black slimes dissolve organic materials in half the time. This ability extends to things like alcohol and poison which will have an effect on you by just simply touching it. Items or creatures actively touching your slime will take 2d6 acid damage every round.

Puddle Form: As an Action, melt down in to a puddle of slime, this allows you to slip into small cracks and crevices, while in this form you are granted 20m of blindvision as you no longer have eyes to see. In this form you are immune to poison, paralysis, polymorphing, stunning, and any attack that rely on sight. this is your base form while you are sleeping at night.

Reproduction: Your offspring will only pull from the genetics of the original race you were, along with the genetics of your significant other, For female devoured, pregnancies take twice as long as the child will only develop while your body is in its original state.

Adhesive: While in your slime form you are able to traverse difficult terrain, allowing you to stick to walls and ceilings.
