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.

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) ...

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.
