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.

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.

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) ...

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...
