Cressent

Cressent, also spelled as Crescent, is a strange creature to behold. Standing at about four feet in height normally, she can be seen as short, but since she generally lacks legs, she isn't nearly as small as people would believe her to be. Cressent is in fact a sky blue goo creature, a being comprised completely of a gelatinous ooze. Although she appears to be female, she can morph her body in nearly any way, transforming into other shapes, creatures, or even appear as the opposite gender. This makes her highly flexible, and pretty hard to avoid if she's really after a target. She moves a bit slower than most creatures, but can use creative methods to speed up and catch prey if the need arises. Since she can morph her body, she can also create feet with which to run or walk on.

Cressent is strangely influenced by water, where if she contacts it, it will morph into her body, allowing her to grow depending on how much water is absorbed. This can either make her shrink is goo or water is lost, or grow if more enters her body. The water and goo seem highly compatible, as she can morph most liquids into goo to stay on her body, or morph the goo back into its original liquid to separate again. This helps her change size whenever she needs to, and can also be a problem if she ends up falling into a large body of water. She has minor manipulation of her goo itself, letting it turn from a sky blue to a lime green, which signals the normally harmless ooze has turned acidic. She can either make this green glue transparent or opaque, depending on if she wants others to see her contents dissolve. Similarly, standing near or over fire or other how substances will cause her body to switch to a reddish orange color, and badly burn anything that comes in contact with it. Similarly, she's able to control any goo that gets separated from her body, so she can move it back over to her main body to re-assemble.

Her body can be altered in other ways as well, to help her take in prey. Since her entire body is comprised of this ooze, she can shift the pressure in each individual section of her body, to either make parts of it easier to move through, or impossible to bypass. She likes to make her 'mouth', 'throat', and 'stomach' lower pressured, so she can eat people like any other being, while they would have a hard time escaping due to the higher pressure on the other areas. In this way, she can create her own stomach by shifting the pressure of a chamber inside of her. She can also make her body low pressured to fully absorb someone into her, before trapping them again by raising the pressure again. This makes her a fairly dangerous predator. Her acidic form is capable of digesting most substances, and the things that can't digest can easily be ejected from her body.

Contrary to her ability to devour and digest most things, she can also be easy prey if done right. Her body can be drunk if at low pressure, and she has a taste of blue raspberry gelatin, as long as she's in her normal state. Since she can easily become acidic however, eating her unwillingly might prove difficult for most people, but if she really trusts someone, she'll go down without much of a fight. Since her body is almost exactly a liquid, she's able to fit into tight spaces, which includes mouths and stomachs. Similarly, one of her biggest fears is straws.

Personality wise, Cressent is a fairly gentle creature, and loves to make friends and play around. She can tend to get too affectionate or into it at times however, and get over playful. She enjoys simple affection, although might accidentally get someone stuck inside of her if they engage in a hug. She doesn't actually get hungry, but digesting food will make her a bit stronger and bigger, as it will provide her body with some more substance. She's never actually needs to eat however, but will gladly do so.
