Homebrew Klyntar Species Details

Physical Description

An ooze-like creature that can be any color whatsoever and take on a variety of shapes. Klyntar looks like silly putty that stretched too far: masses of ooze-like matter stretching and contorting any way possible.

History

The Klyntar come from a "planet," also referred to as Klyntar. Created by a deity that existed before even the creation of the universe, their god pulled them from the void of space and designed them to destroy all creation. Their god, Knull, was eventually betrayed by the klyntar and forced to live as a prisoner in the very center of their planet. Today, the klyntar choose their ways of life, many of which leave their homeland searching for new worlds across the universe.

Society

Klyntar often lives solitary from others of their kind but is happy living quietly among other societies. When living in different cultures, they often remain quiet and act normally. Sometimes others living with them might not be aware of their presence. Klyntar tends to an anti-hero role, protecting the innocent but generally doing whatever they like.

Klyntar Names

Klyntars adopt a unique monster-like name based on people's reactions to them or just a personal preference. They may use their host's name in some situations.

Male: Venom, Toxin, Carnage, Riot, Lasher

Female: Agony, Scream, Scorn
