Bayley, the slime Gator

From the character's reference page: ∙ Species: Goo Gator ∙ Size: Varies ∙ Likes: Idiots, spooking travellers, plants, stagnant bodies of fresh water and getting her own way. ∙ Dislikes: Idiots, fire, not being treated like royalty and having to do things herself. ∙ Special Traits: She's able to change her size to match the body of water she resides in, anything from a tiny puddle to a vast open lake. However, the water must be free of salt and unmoving.

∙ Backstory:

A result of dangerous, unsupervised magic on gelatinous cubes by an old warlock. As he worked tirelessly on his experiments, the man never gave a single thought to properly disposing of the magical leftovers, and as such it ended up thrown directly into the swamp adjacent to his house. With the magical residue slowly beginning to reform, Bayley (as she came to call herself) gradually gained sentience over time as she took on her ideal shape. As soon as she could, she left, tired of listening to the old man's ramblings over the course of many, many years.

For a while, she remained close by. Often finding pleasure in scaring lost travellers that had wondered a little too close to her favourite spot. She didn't care that they had, however, she just enjoyed creating backstories to why these strangers had wronged her in some way. When things got a little too stale, she could always switch it up by taking on more of the water that surrounded her in order to change the size of her body. This allowed her to get a little more inventive with her antics, and eventually led to quite possibly her favourite scares of all time.

With all the time in the world, she'd eventually grow bored with the same routine day in day out. So now she has left the swamp for good, looking for the next big thing to perk her interest.
