Slimes

It is not that well-known but there was a myth of an egg sack that was planted on a tree long ago next to the swamp by a hooded figure who was never seen later on afterwards.

A decade later, the swamp has been changed. The swamp is now purple and black with all the life being turned to mutated versions being twisted and black, but one of the biggest things about this event is the creatures that live next to the swamp.

Late in the night, humanoid cyclops creatures made of liquid and would come out of the lake and wonder the swamp gathering and stealing from nearby homes, clans, etc then returning to the swamp that they call the newmaker.

It is not know what they do with the items or building materials, but they also have been seen with the ability to merge with each other to become taller and larger in size and they also gain more eyes.

Once they fused, and they seem to go out of the swamp and act as guards to the swamp wearing the items they stole.

Let's talk about their appearance, each one is identical and very short but some would wear different coloured bandannas to help understand who is who, non if them have mouths but instead a ball on their face that changes between an eye, mouth, some sort of ear or nose.

They don't wear much besides cloth wrapped around their waist, legs and arms, in some rare cases sometimes some would wear hats or coats on the regular but often not around others as to them it's a bit weird.

They have many odd specialties from morphing, climbing walls, incredibly fast agility in water or wet areas but pretty weak at combat.

So instead of fighting they sacrifice some of their slime to give life to inanimate objects that fight for them but this would make them weaker in return.
