A Sum of Dangerous Parts

Depending on the nature of your campaign, it’s safe to assume that most common folk have never seen a gluttonous slimefolk before (or realized they are anything other than an oddly slimy humanoid. This is rarely an issue in cosmopolitan cities where even the most unusual species are hardly given a second look, but superstitious villagers and rural townsfolk may see a gluttonous slimefolk as a creature of mere ooze rather than as a person. This can cause friction in some cases, and outright panic in others. Gluttonous Slimefolk that travel to these places with other creatures, especially those that resemble more common humanoids, can usually avoid any issues if at least one of their companions is with them.

Gluttonous Slimefolk Names

Gluttonous Slimefolk tend to choose names that are important to them and are independent of the gender that they eventually choose to assume, if any. These names may be based on items that were nearby when they gained sentience or could even be based on names they dimly remember. Gluttonous Slimefolk that are rescued or become part of an adventuring party early in their lives may choose to adopt or modify a name given to them by an ally, rather than create one from scratch.
