Homebrew Ooze Folk Species Details

Genesis of Gelatin

They form spontaneously on cave stalactites as droplets, dropping on the ground and growing into Ooze Folk as they hit the ground, often to the surprise of observers.

 

 

 

 Beach Party? Pirate Adventure? All horrifying for an Ooze Folk.

They also despise water, as the magics that suffuse their body seem to dissolve between the jelly-like flesh that holds them together.
