Amorphous. The unbound gluttony can move through a space as narrow as a Medium-sized creature's width without squeezing.
Embodyment of Sin. The unbound gluttony doesn't age and can't be magically aged. If it dies, the unbound gluttony returns to life in 1d4 years and regains all its hit points. Only a wish spell can prevent this trait from functioning.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the unbound gluttony fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The unbound gluttony has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Ooze Body. Other creatures can enter the unbound gluttony’s space, but a creature that does so is suffocating, can’t cast spells with a verbal component, is restrained, and gains total cover. Additionally, a target takes 14 (4d6) acid damage at the start of each of the unbound gluttony's turns. When the unbound gluttony moves, engulfed targets move with it. Engulfed targets can escape with a DC 22 Strength (Athletics) check.

ACTIONS
Multiattack. The unbound gluttony makes two Slimy Maw attacks. It can replace one of those attacks with Suck, if available.
Slimy Maw. Melee Weapon Attack: +12, reach 20 ft. Hit: 26 (4d8 + 8) acid damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 22).
Suck (Recharge 4-6). Strength Saving Throw: DC 24 (with disadvantage if grappled by the unbound gluttony), each creature in a 90-foot cone. Failure: A target is pulled 30 feet toward the unbound gluttony, potentially entering its space.
BONUS ACTIONS
Absorb. The unbound gluttony pulls a gluttony glob within 20 feet of it and any creature it has currently engulfed into its space. Then it regains hit points equal to the glob’s current hit points.
LEGENDARY ACTIONS
Legendary Action Uses: 3. Immediately after another creature's turn, the unbound gluttony can expend a use to take one of the following actions. The unbound gluttony regains all expended uses at the start of each of its turns.
Digest. Constitution Saving Throw: DC 24, each creature inside the unbound gluttony's Ooze Body. Failure: 9 (2d8) acid damage. Success: Half damage. Failure or Success: The unbound gluttony regains hit points equal to the total acid damage dealt.
Fling Part. The unbound gluttony loses 25 hit points and flings part of itself at a point it can see within 150 feet. Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 22, one creature occupying the targeted space. Failure: 15 (2d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage. Then the part animates into a gluttony glob, and the target fails automatically against the glob’s Engulf. Success: The part animates into a gluttony glob, and the target moves to the nearest unoccupied space.
Quake. Strength Saving Throw: DC 24, each creature standing on the same surface as the unbound gluttony in a 300-foot radius originating from it. Failure: The target is knocked prone and must make a saving throw to maintain concentration, if it is concentrating. Failure or Success: The unbound gluttony can't take this action again until the start of its next turn.

QUICK REFERENCE
USING MONSTER VARIANTS
Monster variants allow the GM to adjust encounters to better match the party’s strength, narrative needs, or world-building logic. A weaker variant may represent a juvenile, wounded, or lesser specimen, while a stronger variant can serve as a leader, champion, ancient creature, or apex predator.
Variants can be used to fine-tune difficulty without changing the core identity of the monster, making them ideal for scaling encounters, reinforcing hierarchy within a faction, or creating memorable boss-style enemies. You can even use the same stat block but different variants in the same encounter if you want.
Design Note. Each monster is primarily balanced around its normal version. Weaker and stronger variants are derived adjustments and may not always preserve every tactical nuance or “feel” of the original creature. GMs are encouraged to review variants carefully and adjust abilities or tactics as needed to best suit their table.
