==Summary==
An Oblex is a collection of sentient slime created by the Illithids through various experiments in the Underdark. Akin to its creators, The Oblex shares a diet for the minds of others and is devoted entirely to absorbing the substance, using its wits to stalk intelligent prey before proceeding to engulf its prey's head, draining out their memories and personality while leaving the prey clueless and perplexed afterward, if not dead. These memories are presumably represented by the head of its victim.
Upon maturing, the Oblex's abilities are expanded upon through the sheer number of memories it has absorbed, with the most notable being its ability to create nigh-indistinguishable duplicates of its consumed victims through its own body and the victim's memories. With the only difference between the duplicate and the original being a faint sulphurous smell along with being connected to its host with a slimy tether, the Oblex can use its pawn to subtlety manipulate other sentient life into a false sense of security, luring the unexpectant to their doom.
