Corona Mimic




Envious of the stars, the corona mimic chooses the form of an opulent light fixture in a vain attempt to capture even a mote of their glory. However, the monstrosity can never reach the beauty of heavenly objects, but that doesn’t stop it from trying. This unattainable goal has also seeded a deep hatred in the mimic’s amorphous heart, and it draws off of this unabating bitterness to blanket the area around it in biting, burning light.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into an chandelier 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 (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary chandelier

Grappler.

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

Illumination (Object Form Only).

The mimic sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light in an additional 30 ft. The mimic can activate and deactivate this ability as a bonus action.

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic makes two pseudopod attacks.

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: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Coronal Ejection (Recharge 6).

The mimic flares in a 20ft radius 10ft high cylinder of searing light. Each creature in the area of effect must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) fire and 10 (3d6) radiant damage and be blinded for the next minute. On success, a creature takes half as much damage and is not blinded.

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) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy.
