Ooze

Most oozes are mindless blobs of goo, lacking a distinct shape, bone structure, or nervous system. However, you are different. You have somehow achieved sentience and awareness. Maybe you were the result of arcane experiments, or maybe you digested someone and absorbed their intelligence. Either way, you now have a humanoid shape, though your body is still made of ooze.

Oddity

Sentient oozes are incredibly rare and are usually the result of magical or rare situations. They have no history or culture of their own and instead integrate into a welcoming environment.

People that are friendly to oozes still find them odd, as their biology and needs are completely different from most humanoids.

Oozes often look for work as underground explorers, minimizing the amount of time they need to spend around fleshy humans.

Malleable

Oozes are normally formless, but your natural state is humanoid in shape. You might be smooth, blocky, or drippy, but your humanoid shape is most comfortable for you. You lack a bone structure and internal organs, but you might possess parts of other consumed creatures that remain floating in your body. For example, some oozes are able to keep a skull floating in their head.

Fitting Armor

Oozes have a hard time wearing cloth clothing, as their bodies either dissolve it or make it wet and slimy. Instead, they often look for metal armor to wear, which adds a level of rigidity and firmness to their form.. As a bonus, they can fit into or wear most sizes of armor easily, due to their loose form.

Ooze Names

Ooze names can be anything.

Example Names: Hawai Blob Kiwi Strawberry.
