Tile Mimic




A larger, similar species to the Trapdoor Mimic, the Tile Mimic possesses a cruel and devious mind. As such, it likes to play with its food. The monstrosity can suppress its adhesive ability and allows the prey to filter in and inspect whatever random ‘puzzle’ its outer shell presents. From there, it plays the part of an acid spray trap, shooting caustic fluids now and again while manifesting pressure plates and cogs. Then, once it’s grown bored as a cat does with a mouse, the devouring begins.

Shapechanger.

The tile mimic can use its action to polymorph into a tile floor trap 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 tile 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. The tile mimic can activate or deactivate this ability as a bonus action.

False Appearance.

While the tile mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary tile floor.

Grappler.

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

Trap Mimicry (Object Form Only).

The tile mimic manifests mechanisms just under its 'skin' that appear to be parts of a trap such as cogs, pressure plates, and springs. A successful DC 15 Dexterity (Thieves Tools) skill check 'disarms' the trap. If a creature succeeds on this check by 5 or more, they realize that the trap mechanisms are a spoof of an actual trap

Actions

Multiattack.

The tile mimic makes three psuedopod attacks.

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) 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: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) acid damage.

Reactions

Sprung Trap (Object Form Only).

Any time a creature steps on the tile mimic it may use its reaction to spray it with acid. The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity save or take 13 (3d8) acid damage. This appears to be a trap activating.

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) ...

The Black Lady

The Black Lady claims to be the The King of Fools' concubine and takes pride in the title despite how other devils look down on her and the rest of the cavalcade for it. She adores the 'silly' archdevil to no end and works tirelessly to ensure that the devils beneath him show the properly courtly respect that her lord is due... if he is around. Otherwise, she focuses more on vicious gossip, violent fetes, and malicious matchmaking. Pitch black in skin with burning red eyes, the Black Lady's legs end in smolding pig hooves while long, curled horns poke from her ebony coiffure. She wears a variety of overy fancy dresses that are always stripped, monochrome, and risque. One accessory she is never without is an enchanted fan made from burnt angel feathers. This fan is as sharp as any demon's claws and will always return to her hand. The Black Lady Medium Fiend (devil), lawful evil Armor Class 22 (natural armor) Hit Points...
