Squall Panther




The forelimbs of this jet-black cat also sport bat-like wings that attach to the creature's flanks. Despite the extra flesh, the squall panther is still a graceful and swift predator. Distressingly, it is deadly quiet while in flight. The gusts produced by its wings are concentrated enough to know prey off of its feet and even extinguish unprotected light sources.

Pounce.

If the squall panther moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the squall panther flew at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits with a claw attack, the target has Disadvantage on the strength saving throw.

Actions

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage

Claws.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage

Wind Shear (Recharge 6).

The squall panther beats its wings and creates a line of strong wind 30 feet long and 10 feet wide blasts in a direction of its choses. Each creature that starts its turn in the line must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet away from the squall panther in a direction following the line.


Any creature in the line must spend 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves when moving closer to the squall panther.


The gust disperses gas or vapor, and it extinguishes candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames in the area. It causes protected flames, such as those of lanterns, to dance wildly and has a 50 percent chance to extinguish them. At the start of each of its turns, the squall panther may choose to continue the wind shear. If it does, the squall panther has the Restrained condition and can only use its bite attack. It can, as a bonus action, also change the direction of the effect. If the squall panther chooses not to continue the wind shear the effect ends and it cannot use wind shear again until recharged.

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
