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.

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) ...
