Dnd Plasmoid Race

Plas­moids are amor­phous beings that resem­ble mov­ing slime. They are most com­mon­ly found in swamps or oth­er envi­ron­ments with extreme­ly high humid­i­ty, where their unique body struc­ture func­tions opti­mal­ly. Although they can adopt a rec­og­niz­able form when inter­act­ing with oth­er races, plas­moids are dif­fi­cult to mis­take for any­thing else.

Food

They absorb nutri­ents through osmo­sis, much like amoe­bas, and excrete waste through small pores in their bod­ies. They also breathe through pores that allow them to absorb oxy­gen. Their limbs are sur­pris­ing­ly strong and flex­i­ble, enabling them to wield weapons and use tools.

Appearance

Most plas­moids have a translu­cent gray col­or, but they can change their col­or and lev­el of trans­paren­cy by absorb­ing pig­ments through their pores.

Biology

Instead of organs like humans, their bod­ies con­sist of cells, fibers, a plas­ma-like sub­stance, and clus­ters of nerves. These nerves allow plas­moids to per­ceive light, heat, tex­ture, sound, pain, and vibra­tions. They can hard­en the out­er lay­er of their bod­ies to assume a humanoid shape, allow­ing them to wear cloth­ing and acces­sories.

Speech

Plas­moids speak by forc­ing air through tubu­lar cav­i­ties in their bod­ies, which nar­row to pro­duce sounds.

Sleep

When they sleep, plas­moids lose their sol­id form and spread out over the ground, some­times being mis­tak­en for a pud­dle of water, a stone, or anoth­er incon­spic­u­ous part of the envi­ron­ment.
