Plated Meliuscore




Bristling with fury, the plated meliscore is the sort of animal one never wants to cross paths with. The sixteen-foot-long monstrosity has a low, flat profile. The majority of its body is covered in chocolate brown fur. Its legs are stubby compared to its size, ending in claws built for burrowing. The meliscore's head is a wedge shaped, similar to a badger's, with a small triangle of white armor plates covering its forehead and snout. These plates grow larger and rounder across the meliscore's back and then thin out along its furless tail. When the monstrosity pulls its hackles back, its maw of sharp fangs is on full display.


Tightly-Balled Rage. Plated meliscore are known to be territorial and quick to anger. They only tolerate one another during mating season. The rest of the year, the monsters will kill anything that presents even a wisp of a threat to them. Though, a meliscore will always hiss out a warning before attacking. When riled, it curls into a tight, armored ball like an armadillo and rolls into its foe. After flatting the unfortunate victim, the monstrosity unfurls and proceeds to rip and tear it to shreds.

Berserk.

Whenever the plated meliuscore starts its turn with 40 hit points or fewer, roll a d6. On a 6, the plated meliuscore goes berserk for the next minute.

Cuirassier Mimic

Hand-crafted by an aberrant soul, the first mimic of this breed was given to the creature's loyal bodyguard to provide both protection... and a second bodyguard as it were. The monstrosity performed exceptionally well, especially when heroes slew the fellow wearing it and the mimic kept the bottom fighting. Thus the cuirassier mimic was passed to the next right-hand-mook, and so on as its bearers passed. This lead to a legend of an immortal servant when in truth, it was just the armor all along. Eventually, its creator was killed, the mimic 'looted', and its spore spread across the realm.

Entry Mimic

This particular strain of mimics was carefully cultivated into being by a drow matron sick of uninvited guests - both of the adventurer and political rival variety. Resistant to pesky bypassing magic and capable of alerting a building's occupants (and other mimics) of interlopers, entry mimics became all the rage... well, until they started eating honored guests and the occasional house pet. The matron quickly lost favor and stepped through one door never to return... as it were.

Soot Foot

Prior to Death claiming the Kingdom, the zombie dubbed Soot Foot was just another of the faceless masses. While he was a chimney sweep of notable skill, no one noted the ash-smeared lad. Surely, he could have made some money it a sideshow with his double-jointed talents but he preferred the quiet life. He perished in the middle of a job, his already pliant joints tearing into compound fractures as he scrambled to find the flesh of the living. The toxins soaked into his rotting skin give him a unique virality that leaves fiery undead in his weak and he never leaves the cinder of his chimney lairs far behind. -Records of the Charnel House Soot Foot Medium undead (zombie), chaotic evil Armor Class 8 Hit Points 45 (6d8 + 18) Speed 20ft Climb 20ft Str 16 Dex 6 Con 16 Int 3 Wis 8 Cha 5 Skills Stealth +2 Damage Resistances fire Condition Immunities exhaustion, poisoned
