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.

Frame Mimic

Rattling from the shadows, a gaggle of rat-gnawed bones march forward eager to slay the living. One of them lags behind, looking a bit more solid than the rest. You know your mace should have broken the leading skeletons to pieces. Yet, it merely cracked bones instead of shattering them. Tentacles lash out from the slower skeleton, adhering to you and pulling you closer to the maw manifesting from its ribcage. This is the frame mimic. The spawn of the ossuary mimic, this monstrosity also feels a kinship to the undead - specifically animated skeletons. It adopts a group of such horrors and its very presence temporarily empowers them. This is why the skeletons keep it around instead of hacking it to pieces as they would any other living thing. On top of that, frame mimics develop a supernatural stubbornness that can only be called boneheaded. So powerful is this force of will, that it mends their wounds as they plough forward against deadly spells. Frame Mimic Medium Monstrosit...

Brocade Mimic

The masked bard in gaudy attire was strumming away when the bar fight started. It kept playing even as chairs broke and mugs flew. Not one strum was missed even when blood was spilled. Then someone grew sick of the racket and stuck a hand ax into the bard's neck...with a wooden thunk. The fancy vest exploded with teeth, tentacles, and eyes. Then there was the color spray... The first brocade mimic lurked in the rafters of a bard college. Instead of eating a future player, it learned alongside them and caught a passion for the arts. Of course, it could have become an instrument but that wasn't quite grand enough. The mimic became a set of fancy clothes and was worn out the front doors. Sometimes it and its spawn become a bard's best friend. sometimes it pilots a dead one around for a bit, and other times it takes over a mannequin to strike out on its own. No matter how, the show must always go on. Brocade Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral ...

Yoke Mimic

Something tore apart the bandits you've been tracking, but it's not obvious what chewed and in some cases melted them. Maybe there's a wyrmling in the area? Either way, all that remains alive in the camp is a pair of oxen burdened by their cart. Though, they are quite nonplussed given the violence that must have occurred around them. Surely these simple beasts couldn't be the case of the carnage, could they? As you ponder this, the oxen start plodding away, pulling the cart of goods with them. Trying to stop them was the logical thing to do... their yoke coming undone with twin, yawning mouths not so logical. You know what that means... initiative rolls, please. Relatively benign, for a mimic, the yoke mimic was cultivated by an industrious farmer. They didn't see the point of wasting an animal that came into their care, even a strange monstrosity such as this one. It became a valuable tool not only to get fields plowed, but also kept the animals attached to it d...
