 Juiblexian
It is believed that when an ooze has consumed sentient
life, from the primordial urge of destruction and ruin,
there is an intellectual ascension. An ooze, according to
various demonomicons, is the fragmented offspring of
the demon lord Juiblex. Some believe that the Faceless
Lord bestows a select few of his scattered remnants with
a modicum of intellect. Others fear that these sentient
slimes are physical avatars for the Lord of Slimes. There
are even some believe that these awakened slimes are
born from the elemental planes where earth and water
meet.
Essence of Chaos & Endless Hunger
Whether a slime or ooze gains its sentience through
demonic means or otherwise, ultimately, they are bound
by an endless hunger and desire to consume all matter.
When a juiblexian consumes something, it does so in the
hopes of assimilation and transformation to become a
more efficient lifeform.
Alien Sentience
Juiblexians are awakened slimes or oozes that have
taken a humanoid appearance. As for the origin of their
newfound sentience, there are many speculative theories,
but there is generally some commonality between them:
the ooze devoured something or enough of something to
reach an evolutionary pinnacle.
Formless Horrors
Due to their amorphous origins, juiblexians have no
common form except when they return to their true form,
which is usually a puddle of ooze or something similar.
Some slimes can mimic humanoid shapes and other
shapes masterfully, while others take on crude forms that
merely serve as a reflection of their natures instead.
Juiblexian Names
Juiblexian are often given names by those who discover
them upon the realization of their sentience. Many will
adopt nicknames given to them by their companions or
victims. Some take names based on the first sounds they
made upon their awakening. Others choose new names to
express their hopes for the newfound life.
Jubilexian Names: Argh, Blob, Fizz, Gak, Glob, Glop,
Glug, Jell, Liquid, Moob, Mixture, Morpheus, Odd, Plasma,
Splatt, Slurm, Slimer, Thing, Viscous

Juiblexian Traits
Your ooze character has an assortment of abilities from
their slimy nature.
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score
increases by 2.
Age. A typical Juiblexian is between two and one
hundred years old. The maximum lifespan of one remains
elusive and often inconclusive, most Juiblexians show no
signs of deterioration due to age.
Alignment. Most oozes are neutral, though there are
some that develop their complex system of morals based
on the beings they have consumed across their existence.
Some scholars believe their spiritual essence colors a
juiblexian’s moral demeanor.
Size. Your size is medium. Most juiblexian stand roughly
5 to 6 1/2 feet tall. Weight and build are affected by their
subrace and aesthetical choice.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Amorphous Ooze. Your ooze nature is represented in
the following benefits.
• You can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide
without squeezing.
• Due to the lack of a true physical structure, a juiblexian
has advantage on saving throws against being blinded,
deafened, exhaustion, or knocked prone.
• You are immune to poison and the poisoned condition.
• You do not need sleep and don’t suffer the effects of
exhaustion due to lack of rest, and magic can’t put you
to sleep.
Blind Vision. While in humanoid form, you can appear
to have eyes. They do not function like other races.
Instead, you have Blindsight up to 60 feet, using ambient
sound and via consumption of air particles to smell their
quarry. Beyond this range, you are blind and cannot
perceive beyond it.
Gelatinous Trance. When you take a long rest, you must
spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state,
rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it
doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear
as normal.
Language. You can speak, read, and write in Common,
Abyssal, and one language of your choice.
Subrace. A juiblexian is born from the near-infinite
variety of slimes and oozes across the planes. Their
inherent nature continues in their ascended state, though
they also take on qualities not found in their mindless
brethren. There are three distinct natures: Corrosive,
sometimes called ruiners; Blasphemy, sometimes called
weirds; and Mnemonic, which are sometimes called
mimics.
 Corrosive
As the name suggests, your inherent nature delves with
consumption of matter. Corroding, devouring, dissolving,
and withering everything within your reach. While this
destructive quality may seem malevolent, you impart
the promise of decay and eventual death of all things.
Kingdoms and dynasties do not last forever and neither
will your foes.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases
by 1.
Caustic Touch. When you make an unarmed strike, you
deal 1d4 + your Strength modifier acid damage instead of
the normal damage.
Corrosive Body. You have resistance to acid damage. In
addition, a creature that touches or hits you with a melee
attack while within 5 feet of you takes 1d4 acid damage.
The damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, 1d8 at 11th
level, and 1d10 at 16th level.
Juiblexian Quirks
Many juiblexians often find physical beings, what them
as “solids” to limited or odd. This sometimes manifests
through plain ignorance, misintpreted curiosity, or a flaw
upon its sentience. A juiblexian player can choose to roll or
select a trait from the Juiblexian Quirks table.
1d10 Quirk
1 You don’t understand emotions and often
misread emotional cues.
2 You are obsessed with your appearance, and
constantly adopt features from different
creatures you meet.
3 You always feel hungry and often start grabbing
the nearest edible source of nourishment.
4 You learned about the world by devouring it,
you sometimes take objects and ingest them
to learn about it.
Blasphemy
You defy the laws and properties of nature with your
consumption of energy and elemental forces. Most
blasphemy juiblexians are born from an elemental spark
from the inner planes and all the blended areas between
them. There are others that are born from the resonance
of arcane magic, what some call “living spells” or weirds.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases
by 1.
Elemental Chaos. Your body is a storm of elemental
energies, with some of those energies becoming dominant
for a short time. While not wearing armor, you gain the
benefit of resistance to a damage type.
Each time you finish a long rest, roll a d8. The number
rolled determines your damage resistance until you finish
another long rest.
d8 Damage Type
1 Acid
2 Cold
3 Electricity
4 Fire
5 Lightning
6 Poison
7 Thunder
8 Roll twice more, rerolling any 8s
In addition, whenever you roll damage of the same type,
you can treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2.
Innate Spellcasting. You know the thaumaturgy cantrip.
When you reach 3rd level, you can cast color spray spell
once with this trait, and you regain the ability to do so
when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you
can cast the web spell once with this trait and regain the
ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is
your spellcasting ability for these spells.

5 You always have an anacedotal tale about your

times in your original ooze form.
6 You don’t understand clothing beyond its
utility and try to change your appearance to
match.
7 You find talking tiresome and sometimes
revert back to talking about vibrations through
your ooze-like surface.
8 Your are curious about the rituals of the
“solids” and obsess on learning about them.
9 You feel alone and seek to find others like
you, either to consume them or bask in their
company.
10 You are always willing to show off your
amorphous qualities, becoming half-liquid,
half-solid at a glance, and you always assume
other beings can do it too.

 Mnemonic
You were born from an amalgam of memories, souls,
and thoughts. Your sentience was not earned through
demonic blessings or eldritch flux, but from the beings,
you devoured along the way. Due to your mysterious
origins, you possess the hightest capability of mimicking
humanoids and their shapes. In your natural form,
resemble a puddle of ooze with shadow visages swirling
within. Many refer to your kind as mimics, though some
may confuse you for an oblex.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score
increases by 1.
False Appearance. As an action, you can transform your
appearance. You decide what you look like, including your
height, weight, facial features, the sound of your voice,
coloration, hair length, sex, and any other distinguishing
characteristics. You can make yourself appear as a
member of another race, though none of your game
statistics change. You also can’t appear as a creature of
a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the
same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become
quadrupedal, for instance. Your clothing and other
equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to
match your new form, requiring you to keep a few extra
outfits on hand to make the most compelling disguise
possible.
Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually
indiscernible. If you arouse suspicion, or if a wary creature
suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any
Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection.
You can also assume the appearance of any creature you
have consumed through your Mnemonic Echoes feature.
You can retain a number of appearances equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).
Mnemonic Echoes. The myriad of dissonant voices
echoes within your being, granting you knowledge
not your own. You gain skill proficiency of your choice,
one tool proficiency of your choice, and fluency in one
language of your choice.
Whenever a humanoid creature dies within 5 feet of
you, you can spend your reaction to consume the target.
Once consumed, after your next long rest, you may change
either your skill proficiency, tool proficiency, or language
fluency to one of the proficiencies or languages of the
creature.

 Racial Feats
There are several ways for a Juiblexian to evolve over the
course of a campaign. If your DM allows the use of feats to
customize your character, the DM decides whether or not
the following feats are available in a campaign.
Morphic Body following benefits:
Prerequisite: Juiblexian
You do not possess the normal anatomy of a solid being,
allowing you to shift or move vital organs out of harm’s
way. You gain the following benefits:
• Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of
20.
• Whenever you are hit by an attack that is a critical hit,
you can use your reaction to turn the triggering attack to
a normal hit.
Slime Shot
Prerequisite: Juiblexian (Corrosive)
You learn to hurl a piece of caustic gunk at a target. As
an action, you can a ranged attack at a creature you can
see within 30 feet. On a hit, the target takes damage as if
it was hit by your Corrosive Touch feature, and the next
attack roll made against the target before the end of your
next turn has advantage. Once you use this ability, you
can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Eldritch Admixture
Prerequisite: Juiblexian (Blasphemy)
You can mix some of your elemental energies along with
any spells you cast that deals damage.
As a bonus action, when you roll damage for a spell, you
can reroll a number of dice up to your Charisma modifier
to deal damage as the type based on your Elemental
Chaos feature. If you have two resistances active, choose
one of them for this ability. Once you use this ability, you
can’t do so again until after you finish a long rest.
Matthew Harris (Order #18544524)
Haunting Mimicry
Prerequisite: Juiblexian (Mnemonic)
When you assume a form of a consumed humanoid, you
also devour their thoughts and memories. You gain the
• Increase your Intelligence or Charisma score by 1, to a
maximum 20.
• Whenever you assume an appearance of a creature
consumed by your Mnemonic Echoes feature, you gain
access to all information that the humanoid would freely
share with a casual acquaintance. Such information
includes general details on its background and personal
life but doesn’t include secrets. The information is
enough that you can pass yourself off as the person by
drawing on its memories.
• Your uncanny portrayal of the Mnemonic Echoes strikes
fear to even those who knew them in life. If you speak
to a humanoid for at least 1 minute, you can attempt
to spark paranoia in their mind. At the end of the
conversation, you make a Charisma (Deception) check
contested against the target’s Wisdom (Insight) check.
On a success, the target is frightened of you for 1 hour,
unless it is attacked or damaged, or until it witnesses its
allies being attacked or damaged. If the target succeeds
on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried
to frighten it. Once you use this ability, you can’t do so
again until after you finish a short or long rest.
