Bantiasat Tatuikat - Plasmoid Wizard / Druid / Cleric

Bantiasat (Bahn - tee - asa) Tatuikat (Ta - twee - kuht) (a.k.a. Banti)

The Great Questions -

• Since so many monsters like swallowing, how can I weaponize tentacle & voring imagery in D&D, even against creatures that don't usually swallow?
• Will the Chest Burster make the DM kill this character before it even casts the Goblin Oven?
• How does a character that was raised in such an isolated, hate-filled & violent environment change as they experience the rest of the world without the direct supervision of their nurturer?
• How will society react to such an alien entity? 

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A teal ooze that is standing upright, roughly in the form of a female humanoid, wearing an outfit like any other person.

Body Features

• Plasmoids are amorphous beings with no typical shape. In the presence of other folk, they often adopt a similar shape, but there’s little chance of mistaking a plasmoid for anything else.
• They can stiffen the outer layers of their bodies to maintain a humanlike shape, so they can wear clothing and accessories.

Facial Features

• Lacks any facial features whatsoever

Identifying Characteristics

• Being a walking teal ooze

Physical quirks

• Plasmoids consume food by osmosis, the way an amoeba does, and excrete waste through tiny pores. 
• They breathe by absorbing oxygen through another set of pores, and their limbs are strong and flexible enough to grasp and manipulate weapons and tools. 
• Although most plasmoids are translucent gray, they can alter their color and translucence by absorbing dyes through their pores.
• Plasmoids don’t have internal organs of the usual sort. Their bodies are composed of cells, fibers, plasma-like ooze, and clusters of nerves. These nerves enable a plasmoid to detect light, heat, texture, sound, pain, and vibrations. 
• They speak by forcing air out of tubular cavities that constrict to produce sound.
• When plasmoids sleep, they lose their rigidity and spread out and are thus sometimes mistaken for a rock or some other feature of the environment.

Unconsidered / irrelevant

Mental Trauma

• Sheltered cult upbringing

Intellectual Characteristics

• Cunning & devious

Morality & Philosophy

• Plasmoid species superiority is so abundantly obvious. How could anyone with such a rigid & fragile physiology ever stand in comparison to the fluid durability & adaptability of plasmoids?
• Take what it wants, it's not likely anyone can stop it anyway, even if they try.

Taboos

• Intimate killer / ritual sacrifice

Family Ties

Kulduitee Tatuikat - Only parent, resides in the Underdark maintaining their temple to Ghaunadaur. A fervent hermit priestess who only leaves the temple for the Gatherings. 

• Bantiasat assumes Kulduitee would turn any companions brought 'home' with them into sacrifices for Ghaunadaur.
