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. On each of its turns while berserk, the plated meliuscore attacks the nearest creature it can see. While berserk the plated meliuscore has Advantage on all attacks.

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.
