Oozelings are human shaped, with the limbs and heads of humans, yet made entirely of firm, nearly solid ooze. Depending from which of the original wizards an oozeling descends, they might be gray, like the gray ooze, and able to take on an amorphous form. Or they might be ochre, like the ochre jelly, and be able to climb up walls and across ceilings. They might be translucent, like a gelatinous cube, or they might be oily, like a black pudding, in which case their touch is corrosive.

Each oozeling has a distinctive trait gained from its ooze-cursed forebear. Select one of the following traits:

Gray Ooze

Gray oozes were known to be found in subterranean areas, such as caverns and dungeons. They were mindless scavengers who dragged themselves around caves or sewers, while absorbing and digesting whatever they came across. Unlike other oozes, the gray variety couldn't move on ceilings or walls, hence it was left to slide its way along subterranean floors.

Black Pudding

Black puddings could be found inhabiting shrines and temples in the underdark, where the worshipers of said shrines cultivated alliances with black pudding for mutual defense. Like other oozes, black pudding desired warmth and sensed their prey through movement. While the creatures sought living and breathing targets, they would feast on animal guts, slime, and mushrooms.

Ochre Jelly

They lurked in dungeons, slowly creeping along floors, walls, and ceilings and under and through doors and cracks looking for victims. When they were found, the ochre jelly extended itself and latched onto a victim, proceeding to constrict and engulf them. The jelly exuded pseudopods to slam and grapple foes in combat.

Gelatinous Cube

These creatures were typically found inhabiting underground locations or dungeons. They were more common in heavily frequented dungeons, attracted by the more readily available food and carrion. Some creatures considered gelatinous cubes to be ideal means of cleaning out their dungeon lairs of all manner of organisms. Some tried to cultivate larger cubes in order to ensure that they could reach mosses or similar organisms that collected on ceilings.

Oozelings are made of a semisolid, acidic goo. To stay alive, you must consume three to five pounds of organic material a day, or two rations. Oozelings cannot absorb food directly into their bodies, however, due to your quasi-humanoid nature, so you must chew and swallow it like other humanoids must. Other organic material, such as wood, also suffices, but you are as prone to becoming nauseous or poisoned as other humanoids. Because of your acidic nature, you have resistance to acid damage.

You are proficient in the Arcana skill. When using this skill to recall lore about a monster, you make the check with advantage.
