Mottled Suckling




The mottled suckling is a lithe, rubbery creature with sallow yellow skin covered in inky, infectious blots. Little remains of the humanoid it once was, including a lack of sex characteristics and hair. Its face is a teardrop shaped with its point ending in a puckered hole where a mouth would be. This sphincter contains the suckling's vile proboscis, which uncoils like a wary serpent before plunging into a victim. Most sucklings wear tatterdemalion clothes, giving them the appearance of a beggar or leper. Still, if their skin and oddly shaped skulls weren’t dead giveaways of an alien nature, the suckling’s gnarled claws are half-again longer than a humanoid’s hand.


Blight Bringers. So powerful is the pull of The Pariah's throng of devoted madmen, the mottled sucklings eventually perished from one eldritch disease or another produced by the sultan of sickness. Yet, the most fervent did not stray dead. Instead, their mortal coils were as to a moth’s pupae from which a mottled suckling pulled itself free in a wash of fervid juices. Reborn as an unnatural blend of mosquito and man, the sucklings clumsily garb themselves in soiled rags pulled from the plagued corpses around them before joining the Pariah’s cavalcade.

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.

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. 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.

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) ...
