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.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

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) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy.
