Lunar Mimic




Once, a spelljammer wrecked on a lonely, but animal-populated asteroid. The mimic that caused the disaster found the fauna on the floating rock delicious and invigorating. It didn’t expect to mutate and grow to immense size, eventually becoming a small moon onto itself, but there it was. It wasn't long before the lunar mimic cruised the spaceways, feeding on space-born prey and dropping its spore on other verdant asteroids. Thankfully, most lunar mimics perish before they achieve their mobile stage, but even one of the horrors can devastate a stellar tradeway or wreak havoc across a planetary system.

Shapechanger.

The lunar mimic can use its action to polymorph into a small moon 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.

Aura of Lunacy.

The lunar mimic broadcasts a maddening psychic wave in a 100ft radius. Whenever a creature enters this area for the first time or begins their turn within it, they must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom save or be charmed by the mimic for the next minute. While charmed by the mimic, a creature must make a melee attack before moving against a creature not charmed by the mimic of the game master's choosing. If no such creature is within reach, the creature uses its Action and Move to get closer to the mimic.


At the end of each of its turns, a charmed creature may repeat this save, the effect ending on success. Once a creature succeeds against the lunar mimic's Aura of Lunacy, it is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

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 24). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Fatal Attaction.

The lunar mimic may use its bonus action to pull a target restrained by its Focused Gravity 100ft closer to it in a straight line

False Appearance.

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary small moon.

Grappler.

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

Siege Monster.

The lunar mimic deals double damage to objects and structures.

Actions

Multiattack.

The lunar mimic makes two attacks.

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 50 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (2d10 + 10) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (2d10 + 10) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) acid damage.

Mimicked Moonbeam (Recharge 5-6).

Ranged Spell Attack:+10 to hit, range 500/1000 ft., one target. Hit: 72 (16d8) radiant damage.

Focused Gravity (Recharge 6).

The lunar mimic chooses a target it can see within 1000ft. The target must succeed on a DC 24 Strength save or become Restrained for the next minute. The lunar mimic can only restrain 1 target at a time.

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.

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...

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.
