Masked Ranger: Ranger
When a mask is worn, the material melds onto the face of the wearer, becoming part of their body, changing their skin color and texture to that of the mask, essentially looking like a humanoid version of that monster. The meld is nowhere close to being a disguise and these rangers tend to keep their faces hidden while around others due to their appearances. These masks don't lend their abilities to anyone. Only those that spend time harnessing these special masks can absorb their magical energy. Others will gain no special abilities or powers from them.
Spirit of the Masks
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to wear monster masks that share their ability or abilities with you. Putting on or changing masks requires a bonus action, and the effects gained last until you complete a short or long rest, or spend an action to remove the mask. These masks are magical and return to your person if they are ever 30ft. or more away from you. Masks only grant their powers to those who have learned the art. They have no effect on other creatures. Putting on monster masks take a physical toll on your body. As such you can only don a mask once per day, no matter when the mask is removed.

On a failed save, you enter the creature’s space, and the creature takes 2d8 acid damage and is engulfed. The engulfed creature can’t breathe, is restrained, and takes 2d6 acid damage at the start of each of your turns. If you move, the engulfed creature moves with you. On a successful save, the creature can choose to be pushed 5 feet back or to the side of you. A creature that chooses not to be pushed suffers the consequences of a failed saving throw.An engulfed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a Strength check vs your Spell Save. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of you. Once you use Engulf, you cannot do so again until after a long rest. Ooze - Ochre Jelly - Split
As an action, you can restructure your body. For 1 minute, when your size is Medium or larger and you are subjected to lightning or slashing damage, as a reaction, you can split into two new jellies if you have at least 10 hit points. Each new jelly has hit points equal to half of your current hit points, rounded down. You and your new jelly are one size smaller than when you used this feature. All jellies have their own place in the initiative order. If you or any jellies deal damage while you are Small, your damage takes a penalty equal to your Strength modifier. All spell slots, abilities, features, etc. are shared between you and any additional jellies. Once you use Split, you cannot do so again until after a long rest. Plant - Shambling Mound - Lightning Absorption
Whenever you are subjected to lightning damage, you take no damage and regain a number of hit points equal to half of the lightning damage dealt. Plant - Thorny - Regeneration
You regain 1d10 hit points at the start of each of your turns. If you take cold, fire, or necrotic damage, this trait doesn’t function at the start of your next turn. If your current hit points reach 0 or you are incapacitated, you no longer gain hit points due to this trait. Plant - Treant - Animate Trees
You magically animate one or two trees you can see within 60 feet of you. These trees share the same statistics as you, except they have half of your maximum hit points, Intelligence and Charisma scores of 1, they can’t speak, and they can only make unarmed attacks. An animated tree acts as an ally of yours. The tree remains animate for 1 day or until it dies; until you become incapacitated or is more than 120 feet from you; or until you take a bonus action to turn it back into an inanimate tree. The tree then takes root if possible. Once you use Animate Trees, you cannot do so again until after completing a long rest. Undead - Ghost - Incorporeal Movement
