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.

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.

Knave of Knights

Bound to the Cavalcade of the King of Fools , this fallen angels wears a mockup of platemail armor crafted from bright pressed velvet and knitted wool but his weapons are nevertheless quite real. Said weapons are a whip crafted from liars's tongues and a lance of hell iron he wields as if it was made from driftwood. The stub of burnt wings jut from his back with multi-colored streamers dangling from the charred bones. The Knave of Knights fell in with the Cavalcade when he vowed to defend a rightful king's right to rule, only to find out that the sire he fell in with was a bastard usurper who had successfully taken his brother's place. Cursed and broken mentally by the deception, he was easily felled by the King of Fools and given a new place at the archdevil's side serving as his jester and favored knight all wrapped into one.

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.
