When Sloth falls to 0 hit points, he loses 1 soul point and instead drop to 1 hit point, and he can only be instantly killed by effects that would cause him to be unable to be resurrected, such as the disintegrate spell. Additionally, while Sloth is at 0 hit points, he does not become unconscious and automatically succeeds his first 3 death saving throws, including failures from being attacked, but automatically fails every death saving throw after until the end of his next long rest.

Pride may spend 2 soul points to use Regeneration as a reaction, or 3 soul points to use it as a free action or when he is reduced to 0 hit points. Unyielding (1 Soul Point). Sloth takes the dash, dodge, or disengage actions as bonus actions. He can take each of these actions on the same bonus action for 1 additional soul point. Clumsy Charge (1 Soul Point). Sloth's walking and burrowing speeds are doubled, and he makes 1 unarmed strike that deals twice as much damage. At the end of his turn, Sloth must attempt a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw.

[Source] The fifth of Father's homunculi to be created, Sloth's role is singular: dig. Spending almost the entirety of his hundred-years life beneath Amestris creating the matrix for the nation-wide transmutation circle, his only two times above ground were shortly before his death. Despite being the physically strongest and fastest of the homunculi, Sloth's namesake keeps his abilities unrefined and clumsy, leading to him accidentally killing the entirety of the Amestrian Military's High Command, who had been taken hostage during the revolution, in an attempt to ambush Major General Olivier Armstrong, a prominent figure in the revolution. While able to hold out against the combined forces of Major General Armstrong, Major Alex Louis Armstrong, Izumi Curtis, and her husband Sig Curtis, the fight overworked his Philosopher's Stone, and Sloth happily accepted the eternal rest of death. Vortex of Souls. When Sloth is targeted by detect magic or a similar effect, or contacted by any form of two-way telepathy, the caster hears the screams of every soul inside of him and must succeed a DC 22 Charisma saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. They may retry this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending this effect early on a success. Mystically Mundane. Sloth can not spend spell slots or Alchemic Stamina. Unaging. Sloth does not need to eat, drink, or sleep, and does not age.
