Mimic of Wondrous Power




Long did this particular monstrosity yearn to take on an animal shape. While most mimics were content being chests and barrels, doors and beds, this mimic wanted to feel what it was like to have beak and claw, scale and feather. Then, one day, it devoured an adventurer carrying an assortment of curious curious - objects that could turn into magical beasts! The mimic digested the items with a great deal of effort and gained the ability to take on the animalistic shapes it desired, to some extent anyway.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a figurine of wonderous power 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.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary figurine of wonderous power.

Grappler.

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

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic makes two pseudopod attacks or one bite and one pseudopod attack.

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) 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: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) acid damage.

Beast Mode (1/day).

The mimic transforms any beast whose challenge rating is 5 or less. Its physical statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its alignment and personality as well as its Adhesive ability. The mimic maintains this effect for the next 10 minutes or until it is reduced to 0 hit points. The mimic counts as both a beast and monstrosity for this duration.


The mimic assumes the hit points of its new form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious.


The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, save it retains the Pseudopod attack and Adhesive ability.


Its gear melds into the new form. The mimic can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

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.

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) ...

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.
