Homebrew Empathic Slimoid Species Details
During the creation of the Oblex the Mind Flayers experimented on many of the Underdark's oozy denizens. During these experiments, there were, of course, failed experiments. One of these failed experiments was the Empathic Slimoids. The Mind Flayer's goal was to create evil beings driven by the hunger of peoples intellect to serve as scouts for food for the mind flares, however, when making this race their plans backfired and they created a good race with the ability to touch the thoughts and minds of people, but only to feed off the negative thoughts and emotions people held. This ability also increases the target's mental state in a positive manner. This being the exact opposite of what was sought after, the Mind Flayer's attempted to eliminate the oozes, known as Failed Experiment 42, however, they missed 3. These lucky 3 were able to escape and helped to forge their new race on different planes, but this race is quite small and rare, as the Mind Flayers seek to destroy them. Some have managed to befriend different humanoid races which act as guardians and teachers of the slimoids.
