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.

Coffer Mimic

Most adventurers have either encountered or heard a story of an encounter with a mimic disguised as a chest. This is so common that everyone assumes a chest might just be a mimic. Hopefully, they never run across this monstrosity. Bred and trained by The Moneylender to protect his ill-gotten fortune, these mimics take the form of high-quality chests and possess greedy souls. They horde treasure and protect it fiercely. The more booty the mimic holds, the tougher it becomes - even more so when it robs the dead. If they get too aggressive, the Moneylender sells them off to other villains to populate their castles and dungeons.

Knave of Knights

Bound to the Cavalcade of the King of Fools , this fallen angels wears a mockup of platemail armor crafted from bright pressed velvet and knitted wool but his weapons are nevertheless quite real. Said weapons are a whip crafted from liars's tongues and a lance of hell iron he wields as if it was made from driftwood. The stub of burnt wings jut from his back with multi-colored streamers dangling from the charred bones. The Knave of Knights fell in with the Cavalcade when he vowed to defend a rightful king's right to rule, only to find out that the sire he fell in with was a bastard usurper who had successfully taken his brother's place. Cursed and broken mentally by the deception, he was easily felled by the King of Fools and given a new place at the archdevil's side serving as his jester and favored knight all wrapped into one.

Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power.
