Liberating Mimic




The truth, they say, will set you free. This particular breed of mimic is attracted to truth or at least the test of those that seek it. As such, they take the shape of the church or town bells, and oh what a beautiful, deep sound they make… at least when they are not chewing. Sometimes, liberating mimics lurk in abandoned belfries and steeples. More often, however, these monstrosities become the icon of mad cults who sacrifice livestock and heresy to their ‘truth givers’. This aura of fanaticism invests the liberating mimic with the ability to keep the frothing masses whipped up into a frenzy. Though, some revolutionaries have adopted these particular mimics as well, using them to support their fight against tyrants and madmen.

Shapechanger.

The liberty mimic can use its action to polymorph into a church bell 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. The mimic can activate or deactivate this ability as a bonus action.

False Appearance.

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary church bell with a rope attached.

Grappler.

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

Innate Spellcasting (2/Day).

The mimic can innately cast Thunderwave (spell save DC 13), requiring no material components. Its innate spellcasting ability is Charisma.

Let Freedom Ring.

As a bonus action, the liberating mimic lets out a resounding tone that can be heard up to 1 mile away. All all charm and fear effects creatures within 100ft of the mimic automatically end.

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic makes two pseudopod attacks or a rope and bite attack.

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 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.

Rope.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait. In addition, a creature grappled by the Rope attack must succeed on a DC 14 Strength save or be pulled 15 feet closer to the liberating mimic.

Cuirassier Mimic

Hand-crafted by an aberrant soul, the first mimic of this breed was given to the creature's loyal bodyguard to provide both protection... and a second bodyguard as it were. The monstrosity performed exceptionally well, especially when heroes slew the fellow wearing it and the mimic kept the bottom fighting. Thus the cuirassier mimic was passed to the next right-hand-mook, and so on as its bearers passed. This lead to a legend of an immortal servant when in truth, it was just the armor all along. Eventually, its creator was killed, the mimic 'looted', and its spore spread across the realm.

Entry Mimic

This particular strain of mimics was carefully cultivated into being by a drow matron sick of uninvited guests - both of the adventurer and political rival variety. Resistant to pesky bypassing magic and capable of alerting a building's occupants (and other mimics) of interlopers, entry mimics became all the rage... well, until they started eating honored guests and the occasional house pet. The matron quickly lost favor and stepped through one door never to return... as it were.

Soot Foot

Prior to Death claiming the Kingdom, the zombie dubbed Soot Foot was just another of the faceless masses. While he was a chimney sweep of notable skill, no one noted the ash-smeared lad. Surely, he could have made some money it a sideshow with his double-jointed talents but he preferred the quiet life. He perished in the middle of a job, his already pliant joints tearing into compound fractures as he scrambled to find the flesh of the living. The toxins soaked into his rotting skin give him a unique virality that leaves fiery undead in his weak and he never leaves the cinder of his chimney lairs far behind. -Records of the Charnel House Soot Foot Medium undead (zombie), chaotic evil Armor Class 8 Hit Points 45 (6d8 + 18) Speed 20ft Climb 20ft Str 16 Dex 6 Con 16 Int 3 Wis 8 Cha 5 Skills Stealth +2 Damage Resistances fire Condition Immunities exhaustion, poisoned
