Homebrew Gelkin Species Details

Gelkin are gelatinous slime like creatures of unknown origin. While they have no actual gender they will model their physical appearance on humanoids they see. They are normally a deep blue in color (but can also be green, red, purple, or black) and are partially see through. They are capable of morphing and changing their body as they see fit and are even capable of solidifying parts of their body to stone like hardness. They seem to have no innate culture or knowledge of where they came from. In addition many can only learn language from being around other races for a significant amount of time leading many to be incapable of speech since most are assumed to be monsters. Their method of reproduction simply involves ingesting enough nutrients to create a separate body which has its own consciousness separate from the original. While they can be slow and even dim witted their highly malleable nature (both physically and mentally) can make them incredibly good at filling in any role. Their bodies also posses heightened resistance to all physical attacks but increased weakness to all magical attacks
