Homebrew Gelatinous Humanoid (Edited) Species Details

 Family Ties

Gelatinous Humanoids are very rare, as they are merely one of the few Gelatinous Cubes that have been educated and have learned to evolve. These beings have learned to take control of their forms to shapeshift, melt things with their acid, and even control their color. Gelatinous Humanoids refer to Gelatinous cubes as "Cousins", however they are not very close as Gelatinous Cubes have not yet comprehended the idea of "Family". Many people look down on Gelatinous humanoids as "Savages, like their ancestors". Many Gelatinous Humanoids will jump at the opportunity to be a part of something, especially if it means possibly making friends. 

An Unusual History

The first Gelatinous Humanoid was a Cube named Glabbagool (Jiggles, for short). After assisting some adventurers on a quest, he set out in the world to learn. He discovered many things about himself and some new abilities. He then was able to change form into a human-like figure, and therefore starting a new breed of ooze. He rushed home to the caverns that he had grown up in to teach his family what he had learned. Unfortunately, so few remained (Many were taken to be used in dungeons), Gelatinous Humanoids became almost impossible to find.

Strange feelings

Low-level Gelatinous Humanoids might not have discovered all of their emotions yet. They might be uncomfortable when discovering love, or expressing too much happiness often. It depends how they learn about emotions. If they have a friend to help them, they might be better at controlling their emotions. If not, they might be very depressed, or a trigger-happy partyer. Gelatinous humanoids tend to cut off from other Gelatinous Humanoids, just because they feel uncomfortable after being lonely for so long.

Traits

Age: Gelatinous Humanoids live as long as 1,500 years. They should already have reached maturity at 100, and have already descended from Cubehood.

Alignment: Gelatinous Humanoids tend to lean more to the Chaotic side. They also do not have a developed sense of morality yet, so Neutral is common as well.

Gelatinous Humanoid (Edited) Traits

When you choose this race, you gain the following benefits:

Polymorph

Can change in to flat wall, or become a smaller blob to squeeze through cracks. Can also revert to cube form. Stats stay the same. Only for 1 hour. Holds armor in itself when polymorphed. If it squeezes through an area smaller than the things it is holding, it drops them.

Acidic touch

Three times per day the gelatinous humanoid can touch a creature or an object, melting anything made of wood less that 1 foot thick, or anything made of metal or stone less than 1 inch thick. It can also do 2d6 damage if it wants.

Fist of acid

When a Gelatinous Humanoid uses their unarmed strike, they can choose to add 1d4 acid damage.

Changing form

Gelatinous Humanoids bare a neat ability from their cube cousins. They have the ability to make their bodies clear at will, blending into their surroundings. When you remain motionless and use this feature, you have advantage on stealth checks. If you have clothing on when you use this feature, you lose the advantage.

Gelatinous humanoids can also adjust to the dark, like their cousins. As an action, you can turn bright green and shed dim light in a 20 foot radius.
