Homebrew Flumphlayer Species Details

When a mindwitness joined a flumph cloister the possibilities that flood a beholder’s mind filled the flumph cloister. The thing is the flumphs would only use this power for good. Eventually the idea game to them that they could use the mindwitness’s mindflayer tadpoles to turn the evil in this world into good flumph like creatures. The decision to act in this changed the flumph cloister to neutral good as opposed to lawful good. The resultant races were known as the flumphlayers all of which had an inherent desire to do good and help others. Flumphlayers have been known to travel between worlds to help any and all who need to be protected of freed from evil. They appear mostly humanoid but made out of pretty much entirely tentacles and covered in many eyes. They change colour according to their mood and have a few eyestalks that they can retract into their heads. Their base colour can range to pretty much any colour imaginable depending on the exact ethnic background of the flumphlayer. There would be multiple subraces but for the sake of this only drow flumphlayers will be presented.
