Creatures who fail to notice a Spawn of Juiblex and walk into it are automatically hit with a melee attack for slam and acid damage.HistoryThe motivations of the slime lord Juiblex are incomprehensible to mortals and even the other demon lords with which he shares the abyss. What is even harder to understand are the few deranged cultists who worship this loathsome creature, propitiating it with the most vile rituals and sacrifices. It is unknown what could possibly garner the attention of Juiblex or what his servants might do to please it, but what is known is that the demon lord does occasionally bestow a very mixed blessing upon its faithful. Worshipers of Juiblex, who are faithful to its cause, spreading disease and chaos wherever they go, may be rewarded with one of Juiblex’s spawn. The spawn are always oozes, but are possessed with a limited intellect and a desire for destruction and evil. The most common spawn are a mutated from of gray ooze, larger than most and imbued with a terrible disruptive touch that leaves wounds resistant to even magical healing. The most notorious spawn of Juiblex is the one that inhabits the temple of Na’Gruul, a blighted and terrible place in the heart of the Chult jungle. The temple was once dedicated to Juiblex and its priests were particularly fervent in the pursuit of pleasing their patron. Juiblex rewarded his faithful with one of his spawn, which proceeded to devour each and every one of the resident priests, emptying the temple of human life in a matter of hours.The temple of Na’Gruul now sits abandoned, shunned by the natives of Chult and is considered a place of great evil. Of course these dark rumors are all that is needed to attract adventurers in droves, seeking treasure and fame. To date no one has recovered anything from the temple but death and misery, and those that have escaped describe the interior of Na’Gruul as a sanity-warping nightmare complete with the spawn of Juiblex as the central harbinger of destruction. Despite these dire failures, adventurers still seek out the temple of Na’Gruul, hoping to best the challenges within and recover some great treasure hidden by the long dead priests. AppearanceA vast pool of steaming malevolence, the spawn of Juiblex is a stale transparent green in color, making it very hard to notice against the stone hallways of Na’Gruul. It can stretch out its mass to cover a 10-foot by 10-foot area or squeeze its fluid body through the tiniest keyhole. When encountered, the spawn of Juiblex will often have the remains of its last meal floating ghoulishly within its protoplasmic mass, a horrifying reminder of the dire fate that awaits intruders in Na’Gruul.TacticsThe spawn of Juiblex is not the mindless eating machine that most oozes are, and can utilize simple tactics in combat. It typically operates as an ambush predator, hiding against a stone surface and waiting for a potential meal to blunder into it. If this is ineffective it will silently stalk its quarry through the halls of Na’Gruul, picking them off one at a time. It attacks with a lashing pseudopod attempting to grab and constrict its opponents. The spawn of Juiblex will crush a grappled enemy relentlessly until it stops moving, then casting it aside for later consumption, moving to deal with additional foes if necessary. The spawn of Juiblex is nigh indestructible, as weapons of steel and wood dissolve on contact with its caustic body. Even weapons resistant to such corrosion must be blessed with the powers of good and light to harm the spawn, as its very body is bastion of evil and corruption. Spell also are of little use against it for the spawn of Juiblex is immune to most forms of energy and to all mind influencing glamours and charms. The only weakness the spawn of Juiblex exhibits is a vulnerability to electrical attacks, which disrupt its protoplasm and cause it great harm. Opponents using lightning or electricity will be singled out and attacked immediately; failing this the spawn of Juiblex will flee to fight another day.</blockquote>
