10ft Mimic




This clever subset of mimics noticed there is one thing dungeoneers never leave home without, but always seem to lose, a trusty 10ft pole. As such, they evolved specifically around imitating this vital piece of equipment. While thin, this left the monstrosity quite large over all, and food willing puts their hands on it! What could be better? Why, wrapping around one’s prey! The mimic then uses the trapped creature like a tethered truncheon, smashing it against the wall or other foes until everything is well and tenderized.

Shapechanger.

The 10ft mimic can use its action to polymorph into a 10ft pole or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

The 10ft mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 13). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage. The 10ft mimic may turn on or off this ability as a bonus action. s.

False Appearance.

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.

Grappler.

The mimic has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.

Actions

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Constrict (Object Form Only).

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 13) and subject to the mimic's Adhesive trait. Until this grapple ends, the creature is restrained, and the mimic cannot constrict another target.

Cast.

The 10ft mimic throws a creature it is constricting into another creature or a solid surface within 30ft. Each creature must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage and be Stunned until the end of the otyugh's next turn. On a successful save, the target takes half the bludgeoning damage and isn't Stunned.

Reactions

After using its Cast action, the 10ft mimic may use its reaction to keep hold of the flung creature. The 10ft mimic must succeed on a DC 13 Strength ability check. On success, it keeps ahold of the creature and either returns it to an unoccupied space within 5ft of the 10ft mimic or moves itself to an unoccupied space within 5ft of the creautre. This movement does not provide opportunity attacks. In either instance, the creature is still considered constricted.


If the 10ft fails this ability check, the creature is no longer constricted or grappled.

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
