Formless Spawn

Formless Spawn's History

These black, protean beings may be found in temples dedicated to the Great Old Ones or in deep sunless caverns, often acting as guardians and protectors of secrets. They may accompany or herald the arrival of a Great Old One or stand in the god's stead, or simply lie motionless for years at a time, like some quit dark pool waiting to be disturbed by the unawary. Whether they are born of a specific entity magically created is unknown.

Formless Spawns can change their form and shape in an instant, from toad-like lumps to elongated things with hundreds of rudimentary legs - to any conceivable form. Being a living viscous liquid, they can ooze through small cracks, usually finding a way through any obstacle, while also able to cast spells, and can form vocal organs to issue strange sounds - no record exist suggesting they have ever communicated with words a human could understand.
