Yochthri

Size: Medium   Speed: 30 feet   Creature Type: You are an Ooze. While in your humanoid form, you count as both Ooze and Humanoid.   Waxen Core: Your true form is a semi-sentient mass of wax and shadowstuff. As an action, you can shift between two forms:  

• Waxen Form (Ooze): Amorphous, waxy mass. You lose the benefits of any worn armour, and cannot cast spells that require verbal or somatic components unless you have a magic item that enables it. You can advantage squeeze through tight spaces as small as one inch, and are immune to being grappled or restrained unless the effect restrains oozes or the other creature is an ooze.


• Humanoid Form: You appear as a vaguely humanoid figure of your choice with candle-like (The colour of your candel-flame) eyes and flickering veins. You can wear armour, wield weapons, and cast spells as normal. You cannot replicate a creatures appearance or change your humanoids race/appearance.

  You can shift between forms as an action. While in either form, your creature type remains Ooze, but in humanoid form you count as both Ooze and Humanoid for targeting effects (e.g., Hold Person).   Nightkind Shape: You can briefly assume a Monstrosity form to protect the night. Once per long rest, you can use your action to transform into a CR 1 or lower Monstrosity creature for up to 1 hour, concentrating as if concentrating on a spell. You must have seen the creature before. This functions like a Druid’s Wild Shape.   At 5th level, you may use this ability twice per long rest, and the CR limit increases to 2.   Candlelight's Domain Magic: You carry a spark of Quellen’s divine waxlight within you. You know the Minor Illusion cantrip.   Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the Alter Self spell once with this trait, without requiring a material component. At 5th level, you can cast the Gaseous Form spell once with this trait. You regain the ability to cast each of these spells when you finish a long rest.   Your spellcasting ability for these spells is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (you choose when you select this race).  

Monstrous Evolution:

When you destroy a manifested nightmare; such as a creature born from a dream, a dream-invading fiend, or an illusory horror drawn from a creature’s mind, you can absorb part of its essence into your own dreams. As a result, you may take on an aspect of that nightmare.
