Congealed Nebula




Some would say that nebulas from which it stars are born. Sometimes, though, this comic womb produces only stillborn matter and eventually becomes a hungering, hateful force onto itself. Pulling itself together into a congealed mass of dust, rage, and radiation, the nebula seeks out life and burns it to ash. Thankfully, the resulting ooze is much smaller than a heavenly feature, but it is still a deadly menace floating through the spaceways or searing its way through a planetoid’s populace. Even worse, humanoids slain by the nebula find no rest but instead rise as an ever-growing tide of Solarwind Specter just as bent as reducing all to dust.

Birth Horror.

Any time a humanoid is slain by one of the congealed nebula's attacks, a solarwind specter burns its way out of the corpse in 1d4 hours. Corrosive Form. A creature that touches the congealed nebula or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 4 (1d8) acid damage and 4 (1d8) radiant damage. Any nonmagical weapon made of metal or wood that hits the ooze corrodes. After dealing damage, the weapon takes a permanent and cumulative −1 penalty to damage rolls. If its penalty drops to −5, the weapon is destroyed.

It has advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and it is immune to all nonmagical damage. It also loses all of its other Abilities.


Any creature that begins its turn or enters the space the gas occupies must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution save or take 13 (3d8) radiant damage.

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.
