Blush Swine




The devil's curvaceous body all but spills out of a clingy dress with a black and red diamond pattern complete with ridiculous ruffles and glittering sequins. Behind a brocaded fan lays the bloated head of an infernal pig complete with gleaming tusks. The swine's face seems caked with white power, its cheeks rosy and beauty mark perfectly placed on the jowls. Blonde ringlets spill from its crown. Painted hooves and a ring-adorned, spiraling tail complete the creature's look.

Weaponized Gossip. Blush swine know that something doesn't need to be true to be inciting. These boorish, pun intended, members of the King of Fools cavalcade spread disinformation and breed envy among the mortals they encounter. They take the guise of alluring courtesans to provoke nobles against commoners, or alluring circus floozies to provoke commoners against nobles. When the social classes clash the pigs whip up raw emotions until no one can tell friends from foe.

Protective Mother. Nearly all of the cambion members of the King of Fools' Cavalcade came from the union of a blush swine and mortals. That said, blush swine are quite proud of their 'piglets' and will go to great lengths to keep them safe and enhance their fame. One can easily detect the boar blood in these half-devils thanks to upturned noses, small tusks, and pigs' feet.

Change Shape:

The creature magically polymorphs into a Medium humanoid, or back to its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts back to its true form if it dies or loses possession of its bladed fan.

Read Thoughts:

The blush swine magically reads the surface thoughts of one creature within 60 ft. of it. The effect can penetrate barriers, but 3 ft. of wood or dirt, 2 ft. of stone, 2 inches of metal, or a thin sheet of lead blocks it. While the target is in range, the blush swine can continue reading its thoughts, as long as the blush swine's Concentration isn't broken (as if concentrating on a spell). While reading the target's mind, the blush swine has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, and Persuasion) checks against the target.

Rumor Monger (Recharge 6)

The blush swine fills the air around it with whispers that prey on the distrust and insecurities of those who listen. All creatures within 20ft of the blush swine must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma save or succumb to the insidious influence. At the start of each effected creature's turn, that creature's player rolls 1d6. On a 1-3 the creature can take no actions as they are overcome by self-loathing and guilt. One a 4-6 it lashes out at the nearest creature that is not a blush swine in unreasonable fury and makes a single melee attack against that target.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy.
