Sagittarion




The lower half of this celestial is fashioned after a six-legged horse and crafted from porcelain, ivory, gold and silver. Sparks fly from its iron hooves with every step. Despite its delicate appearance, however, this chassis wards off all but the most powerful of blows. The sagittary's upper half appears to be humanoid, but is swathed so entirely by bloodied bandages that one cannot be sure what lays beneath. That is save for a singular bloodshot eye, either left or right, that watches from the bandages. The celestial brandishes a latticework lance in which a shooting star is captured, forever plummeting.


Planar Martyr. Tales say that each sagittarion burned its body and lost its legs as they saved fragments from the first star to ever die. In doing so, this order of angels hoped to forever forestall the entropy that will one day consume the universe. In modern times the sagittarions continue their futile struggle. They defend life wherever they find it from the simplest insect to the largest monstrosity. Every natural creature, it is said, has a sagittarion watching over its species. Sometimes these angels will aid heroes in defending the last of a delicate songbird, while the next celestial might trample all those that try to destroy a strain of destructive locust.

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.
