Porcelain Mimic




Let’s face it, old dolls are pretty creepy. They are also something often found in abandoned, loot-filled houses. These mimics realize that and have specialized their appearance to match this niche. However, something unexpected happened. Now and again, these horrors are scooped up by precious children who treat them as a precious toy, babying and talking to them constantly. This constant stimulus added just enough of a spark of intelligence to the aberrations that they learned to speak the common tongue, though often at the level of a human child. While this is a boon to be sure, even more pleasantly, their caretakers often set up tea parties for them! What mimic does like being fed with little effort? Sure. Small pets and neighborhood bullies might go missing, but that’s a small price to pay for companionship.

Shapechanger.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

The mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Large or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 15). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Eyes Everywhere.

The porcelain mimic can use its bonus action to remove one of its eyes and place it anywhere within 5ft. For the next 24hours, the mimic can observe the area around the eye as if it was looking from that spot as long as it is within 1 mile of the location. After this time, the eye shrivels into a hunk of withered meat. The mimic can wither an eye as a bonus action.


THe porcelain mimic can have up to three such eyes active at one time.

False Appearance.

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary, creepy doll

Grappler.

Actions

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) piercing damage plus 13 (3d8) acid damage.

Let Me In.

The porcelain mimic touches an object. The object can be a door, a box, a chest, a set of manacles, a padlock, or another object that contains a mundane or magical means that prevents access.


A target that is held shut by a mundane lock or that is stuck or barred becomes unlocked, unstuck, or unbarred. If the object has multiple locks, only one of them is unlocked. If the target is held shut with arcane lock, that spell is suppressed for 10 minutes, during which time the target can be opened and shut normally.


This ability produces a soft, echoing giggle that can he heard up to 60ft away.

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.

Bryne Woemonger

There is nothing typical about the typical bryne. These coastal terrors are lumbering humanoids with a skin tone close to that of a drowned corpse. Crystal-like deposits of bone and salt erupt from their elbows, knees and shoulders while the rest of their flesh is puckered here and there from barnacle scars and fell branding. Their most disturbing aspect, however, is their fleshless skulls. Some say a bryne’s head resembles a dead horse, others a dead wolf’s and there is an argument to be made for both. While the skull’s shape is general equine the fangs within are wicked and sharp like a dire wolf’s Deep set eyes as black and cold as a shark's ooze off-white ichors and within the fleshy inside of a bryne’s mouth resides a forked tongue capable of speech. Adorned with the remnants of lost vessels and inhabited by a flock of undead albatross, the bryne woemonger takes to the field wielding a reclaimed anchor as a weapon. Driftwood cages serve as shoulder guards for this giant s...

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) ...
