Boulder Mimic




Not all mimics prefer the cramped corridors and mildewed walls of a dungeon. This particular breed, in fact, prefers the great outdoors. It came to realize the most common ‘object’ one found outside was rock in one capacity or another. On top of that, animals and humanoids loved to climb boulders or brace against them for support. Passing a boulder on the side of the road, beside a stream, or in a clearing rarely strikes prey as all that unusual. Plus, running screaming meals over until they were nice and tenderized tickles the boulder mimic’s amorphous heart.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a boulder 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.

A Rolling Stone.

Whenever the boulder mimic moves, any creature of Huge size or smaller it is grappling moves with it. A creature moved in this way must succeed on a DC 15 Strength check or take 9 (1d8+5) bludgeoning damage. If a creature succeeds on this save by 5 or more, they automatically escape the boulder mimic's grapple.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

False Appearance.

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.

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power.

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) ...
