Slumber Mimic




The slumber mimic is a fundamentally lazy creature. Much like a content feline, it would rather snooze away its days, only rousing to obtain a snack and then soon return to whatever dreams the monstrosity dreams. As such, it always and can only take the shape of a bed. Sometimes this is a simple cot, other times four-post opulence. The result is the same, however, some poor creature comes along, rests its head, and never wakes up. So enamored is the slumber mimic of sleeping, and eating sleeping meals, it even developed the ability to force prey into that state. It can, and does, even consume some of its own essence to bewitched particularly resistant targets.

Shapechanger.

The slumber mimic can use its action to polymorph into a comfy bed 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 mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 14). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

False Appearance.

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a comfy bed.

Grappler.

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

Innate Spellcasting.

The slumber can innately cast Sleep, requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma.

Restless Hunger.

As a bonus action, the slumber mimic may sacrifice hit points to increase the potency of its Sleep Spell. For each d8 of damage it takes, the next Sleep spell it casts before the end of its next turn has an additional d8 rolled to determine the hit point threshold for creatures affected.


The Slumber Mimic is immune to any effect that would cause it to sleep.

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.
