Warlock
The Ooze Dragon
You made a pact with an Ooze Dragon, a being that consumed the remains of a fallen dragon. A transparent green acid-like fluid flows over the skeleton of the deceased dragon. The Ooze Dragon is a being that takes upon its new identity as if it were originally a dragon, therefor becoming a creature that structures the cycle of life and death. Ooze Dragons have no clear motive as to why they exist in this world and to what their purpose is. Only a few of them exist in this world, of which most aimlessly roam the surface. Intentionally or not, they create devastating ravages from their slimy remains and limitless spawn of lesser slimes.

Slimy Consistency
1st-level Ooze Dragon features
The Ooze Dragon's slimy fluids flow through your veins. Now, whenever you bleed or sweat, you leave behind a slimy substance interweaved within your body's fluids.
Bonus Cantrip
You learn to control this slimy fluid and learn the Acid Splash cantrip. Whenever you cast the cantrip it deals 1d8 acid damage instead of 1d6.
Slime Evolution
Also at first level, you learn to transform yourself into an Ooze. As you grow your association with the Ooze Dragon, your powers in this form will continue to grow. You gain the statistics of a Lesser Ooze (see stat block). When you transform, you choose whether your body is acid or poison.
Your slimy body becomes your secondary body. You learn to engulf smaller objects and you leave behind slimy droplets wherever you go. As a slime spawn directly from the Ooze Dragon, you stand above other Oozes from your size. Your body is exactly 5 feet in all dimensions (5³), if your size were to change, you become the maximum size of what you are capable of.
Transforming into your Ooze form requires an action, you can use a bonus action to revert to your original form.
You can use this feature twice per long rest, regaining all uses on a long rest. You follow the Wild Shape transformation rules while in Ooze form, except for equipment, your equipment is now within your slimy body.
Slimy Adaptation
6th-level Ooze Dragon features As you experiment engulfing everything that crosses your path, you learn more about Oozes. Combining or splitting is part of their way of life. You grow through absorbing everything around you.
A Better Slime
Your size increases to Large. With the Engulf attack you can now hold one Large or four smaller creatures. Also, Pseudopod has its damage increased to 3d6 damage.
Additionally, whenever you gain an Ability Score Improvement, you can choose to increase any of your slimy physical abilities instead of your humanoid body abilities. And your speed is increased to 30 ft.
Slime Engulfment
You gain the ability to absorb slimes similar in size of yourself. The slime must be willing, lesser in rank (DM's discretion), almost dead, or the remains of slime dead no longer than one minute.
Whenever you absorb a Large slime, you temporarily become bigger and your size grows by from Large to Huge. Additionally, you gain one of their abilities as you engulf them into yourself. The gained ability is up to your DM's discretion, this can differ from cold resistance from a Black Pudding (MM) to gaining the Life Leech action from a Slithering Tracker (VGM). Additionally, you can roll two of your hit dice after consuming a slime.
Slime Engulfment is an action or can be used in combination with the Engulf action.
You can absorb multiple slimes, but only keep the ability from your most recent absorption. All benefits are lost after 8 hours. You can use this feature an amount of times equal to your charisma modifier, regaining all uses on a long rest.
One with the Ooze
10th-level Ooze Dragon feature Your Ooze form is your everything, you almost wish to never return to your human body. The Ooze Dragon is pleased with your dedication and enables you to use abilities from your human body.
Spells while sliming around
While within Ooze form, you can now cast spells. Spells that require you to use material components or an arcane focus can be cast if either is within your slimy body, consuming them through the slime. Concentration spells use your Ooze form's constitution ability.
Verbal and somatic components are being dealt with inside your body. To cast somatic spells, you require either a pair of hands or gloves inside of you that perform the spell for you. Verbal components are audible through slimy sounds.
(Basically, this feature doesn't make you immune to counterspell)
Restful Ooze
You don't really have a reason to leave your Ooze form as you are now able to rest as an Ooze. While you are an Ooze during a long rest, you gain the same benefits as a human would, except you only need two hours of sleep. The other hours can only be used for light activities like keeping guard.
Additionally, you remove two levels of exhaustion upon finishing a long rest and one during a short rest.
Ooze Master
14th-level Ooze Dragon feature Your worship towards the Ooze Dragon is on the highest level. Therefore they share more of their powers with you and even aid you when you are desperate.
Higher Ooze
Your form changes one last time, you are now considered Huge. Your attack changes to 4d6 damage and your speed is increased to 40 ft.
Additionally, your Ooze form is corrosive. If a creature touches you or you hit them with a melee attack while within 5 ft it takes 2d8 acid damage. Non magical weapon takes a -1 penalty to damage rolls, if this penalty hits -5 it is destroyed. Non magical ammunition is destroyed after dealing damage. Creatures inside you take 2d8 acid damage when they enter you or at the start of their turn.
Items you are wearing are immune to the effects of corrosion.
Conjure Elder Ooze
The Ooze Dragon allows you to summon one of her strongest servants. Once per long rest you can summon one of the following Oozes: Adult Oblex (MTF), Black Pudding (MM), Slithering Tracker (VGM), or three Gelatinous Cubes (MM).
Oozes summoned this way cannot be consumed with Slime Engulfment.

Ooze Cube. The ooze takes up its entire space. Other creatures can enter the space, but a creature that does so is subjected to the Engulf attack and has disadvantage on the saving throw. Creatures inside the ooze can be seen but have total cover.
A creature within 5 feet of the ooze can take an action to pull a creature or object out of the ooze. Doing so requires a successful DC 12 Strength check, and the creature making the attempt takes 3d4 acid or poison damage.
The ooze can hold only one Medium creature or up to four Small or smaller creatures inside it at a time.
Transparent. Even when the ooze is in plain sight, it takes a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check to spot a ooze that has neither moved nor attacked. A creature that tries to enter the ooze's space while unaware of the ooze is surprised by the ooze.
Actions
Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 2d6 acid or poison damage.
Engulf. The ooze moves up to its speed. While doing so, it can enter medium or smaller creature's space. Whenever the ooze enters a creature's space, the creature must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw. On a successful save, the creature can choose to be pushed 5 feet back or to the side of the cube. A creature that chooses not to be pushed suffers the consequences of a failed saving throw.
Ooze Cube, Transparent, Pseudopod, Amorphous, and Engulf are directly taken from other WoTC Oozes.
On a failed save, the ooze enters the creature's space, and the creature takes 2d6 acid or poison damage and is engulfed. The engulfed creature can't breathe, is restrained, and takes 3d6 acid or poison damage at the start of each of the ooze turns. When the ooze moves, the engulfed creature moves with it.
An engulfed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a DC 12 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the cube.

Additionally, the target is affected by the slimy goo and is considered slowed (see Slow spell) for one minute. At the start of their turn, the target makes a constitution saving throw. On a failure they are slowed, while on a success it has no effect for that turn. Either way, the target makes a new saving throw every turn.

Extra note The theme around Ooze Dragons kinda lost its touch once I ventured into the world of Oozes. I also did not follow any WOTC lore, apart from monster design. Either way, I hope you like it Bofrab.
