Slink (5e Race)

Slink

"Little Inky Goopy guys"

Physical Description

Slinks are small humanoids made of inky slime, They are slightly transparent in some areas, primarily the belly, hands and feet. At times the slink will drip bits of ooze from different areas of their body, Slinks also can produce large inky slime tentacles due to their DNA being mixed with Inklings. Their eyes are usually pure white.

History

Slinks are a mix of Inklings and Slimes. This is a rare phenomenon when a slime comes in contact with Inkling blood, the slime and Inkling DNA bond to each other. This gives the slime a higher intelligence than a normal slime as well as gives them a more humanoid look & personality. Slinks aren’t very known, as they are super rare creatures.

Attitude

Slinks primarily hide in caves and dark, cold locations. They do sometimes interact with other people, they aren’t very hostile unless provoked. They have a very limited concept of language due to their inkling ancestry but their ability to create complete sentences is rather impossible unless taught.

Slink Names

Slinks don’t really have names and don’t really care for them but, some may choose to use a word that they like as a name.
