Scabrous Elemental




The churning mass of clotted blood, cruor, rotting discharges, and scabs takes on a disturbingly humanoid shape. Despite its vile mass, the elemental moves disturbingly fast as it transforms from a tide of filth and back to a hulking horror with ease.


Typhoid Tide. So powerful is the pull of The Pariah's charisma is so powerful that even the diseased effluents of his devoted flock gather to worship at his feet. As the diseased run off pools and grows, it eventually animates into a quasi-intelligent creature that can be best described as an elemental. These scabrous flows fill profane basins dedicated to the prince of pestilence. Other elementals glop through the streets of a city dominated by the Pariah’s insanity patrolling for those that would unwisely try and turn the tired.

Fetid Trail.

Every time the elemental moves, it leaves behind a festering trail of biological muck in each 5ft space it passed through. Until the start of the elemental's next turn, all creatures that start their turn in or enters one of these spaces takes 2 (1d6) necrotic damage.

Putrescent Form.

The elemental can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there. It can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.

Wound Sense.

The elemental automatically senses any creature within 15 ft. of it that currently has less than its maximum number of hit points. This does not affect constructs and undead.

Actions

Multiattack.

The elemental makes two slam attacks.

Slam.

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. In addition, the creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its next turn.

Noxious Wave (Recharge 5-6).

The elemental lets loose a tide of cruor, pus, and scabs in a 20ft cone. All creatures within the area of effect must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be knocked prone and take 9 (2d8) bludgeoning damage and 9 (2d8) necrotic damage.

Optional Rule

Plague Carrier. As a collection of diseased waste, the scabrous elemental could carry a variety of diseases. The DM could choose a particular disease for each elemental encountered that creatures would have to save against contracting after the battle resolves. No matter the disease, the DC saving throw to resist it would be 15.

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
