Characteristics
Physical features
Juiblex is, in short, disgusting, undoubtedly hideous to demons of all kinds and perhaps the most foul of all demon lords and deities. Its abhorrent aura is as foul as its sickening, shapeless form, a primordial soup of bubbling bile and nauseating fluid bound by a thin epidermis bathed in oil and thick mucus.
The amorphous mass is swirling and striating with a hideous mixture of hues, primarily streaks of black and green. Caustic slime of the same coloration is constantly secret from the sludge-spewing horror and it's known to weep tears of encrusting black grime from the glaring eyes that pulsate and shift across it, peering in all directions.
The Faceless Lord is an appropriate name for the gelatinous monster since it lack any kind of set form, adopting various sizes and shapes with ease. At rest, it is nothing more than a spread-out volume of reeking filth but at any point it could form a simple blob or gather together into a 18‒20 ft (5.5‒6.1 m) pillar of unsteady ordure before collapsing into a rancid wave and stretching out into a voluminous pool of animate ooze.
Most commonly however, when confronted by others, it gathered itself into a hideous heap, a 9 ft (2.7 m) cone of glistening jelly and shuddering slime. No matter the form, it could manifest dripping, trembling pseudopods in all directions to lash out and hungrily scoop up any creature that caught its attention.
Mental traits
Regarding Juiblex's own goals, he is possibly the easiest of the demon lords to understand purely because his desires are so simple and uncomplicated. Rarely did he need to bother plotting and planning because he is normally content just to continue existing, his only active goal being the corrosion of anything he could reach. The malevolent monstrosity cares little for intrigue and hates practically everything, perhaps enjoying only the act of destruction, and occasionally rumbling with some approximation of amused laughter with his more sadistic moves.
If Juiblex could be said to have a grander, more philosophical mission, then it would be his ordinary goal on a greater scale, to dissolve all living things, flooding all of existence in his pestilent putrescence and leaving his shapeless reflections as the only remaining lifeforms. Relatedly, Juiblex is something of a recluse, rarely leaving his lair and reacting with violent anger at any intrusion. The oozes and slimes he surrounds himself with are the only beings that interest him outside of the context of consumption and corruption, and his vicious subjects quiver with something akin to pleasure when their Faceless Lord is near.
Abilities
If a creature spends 1 continuous minute in contact with the slime of Juiblex, their flesh devolves into a translucent primordial state. The creature loses their memories and sense of self, becoming a slime servant NPC who is loyal to the Juiblex.
Worship
Worshiper
Only the truly insane worship Juiblex and tend to its slimes and oozes. Those who offer themselves up to the demon lord are engulfed by it and become vaguely humanoid, sentient oozes. The bodies of these former flesh-and-blood creatures form Juiblex’s extended physical body, while the demon lord slowly digests and savors their identities over time.
Lair
Juiblex’s principal lair is known as the Slime Pits, and is part of
The garden, a realm which Juiblex shares with
Tal Iss. This layer of the Abyss, is divided in two, the body garden controlled by Tal Iss, and the Slime pits controled by Juiblex, a bubbling morass of oozing, fetid sludge. Its landscape is covered in vast expanses of caustic and unintelligent slimes, and strange organic forms rise from the oceans of molds and oozes at Juiblex’s command.
