Protean Anatomy (divine, transmutation) This creature’s vital organs shift and change shape and position constantly. Immediately after it takes acid, electricity, or sonic damage, it gains the listed amount of resistance to that damage type. This lasts for 1 hour or until the next time the protean takes damage of one of the other types (in which case its resistance changes to match that type), whichever comes first. It is immune to polymorph effects unless it is a willing target. If blinded or deafened, it automatically recovers at the end of its next turn as new sensory organs grow to replace the compromised ones.

About

The loquacious proteans known as imenteshes serve as missionaries, spies, and heralds of chaos to further the protean goal of reality’s dissolution. Imenteshes are cunning, curiously diplomatic, and profoundly whimsical. They travel beyond the Maelstrom for their work, frequently adopting extravagant personal attire and decorations that often border upon the garish, all to curry favor with less chaotic beings.

While rarely found on the Material Plane, imenteshes frequent interplanar hubs of culture and commerce.

Imenteshes act as diplomats on behalf of any chorus they claim allegiance to. They can offer safe travel through the Maelstrom or even act as guides through the Maelstrom’s ever-shifting Borderlands.
