Crystalline Body
Your unique body material changes the way you react to physical trauma, when compared to more conventional races.
You gain resistance to slashing damage from non-magical weapons.
You gain vulnerability to bludgeoning damage.
Psionic Mind
Your mind exists solely due to the psionic power of those that awoke your clutch. You learn the Message cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Mind Spike spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Resonant Imbalance (Book of Lost Spells) spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Whenever you cause a creature to take psychic damage, you gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier.
