Homebrew Slime folk Species Details

The exact nature and origin of these strange humanoids is a mystery to today’s sages. The Slime Folk’s records of their limited history are oral traditions, which are frustratingly inconsistent as records vary widely from one colony to the next and usually taken at face value by the Slime Folk who do not seem to care to verify any of these tales. Leading theories about the Slime Folk’s origins range from being Juiblex’s errant creation, the result of an accident of magical refuse, or a simple aberrant mutation from the underdark. What can be agreed is that the Slime Folk have a lineage with the monstrous oozes around the world, with whom they share many properties. They live between the surface and the depths of the underdark in sprawling colonies that house hundreds of Slime Folk. The Slime Folk are always willing to lend a helping hand, their social reach and habitats remain as spread out and flexible as their amorphous bodies.
