Cosmic Siren




Carried on monochrome wings as black as the void and as bright as a star, the cosmic siren haunts a sphere’s spaceways luring spaceships to their doom or singing a moon’s populace to their final rest, and then feasting on their ruined corpses. Her body is that of a lovely maid save as large as an ogre and with feet that end in sickle-like talons. A flowing, charcoal mane serves as the only clothing she ever wears, her lips stained ruby red by diet, and her eyes smoldering like red dwarves. Unlike a normal siren, she also sports a thick, plummed tail as powerful as any dragons. As the cosmic siren often leads a flock of lesser kin from planet to planet, one might wonder how such a feat as managed as normal sirens are not immune to the rigors of open space. Simply, they charm a ship's crew to carry the flock from place to place until it is time to explode like a flock of bats from their cave to claim new victims.

Cuirassier Mimic

Hand-crafted by an aberrant soul, the first mimic of this breed was given to the creature's loyal bodyguard to provide both protection... and a second bodyguard as it were. The monstrosity performed exceptionally well, especially when heroes slew the fellow wearing it and the mimic kept the bottom fighting. Thus the cuirassier mimic was passed to the next right-hand-mook, and so on as its bearers passed. This lead to a legend of an immortal servant when in truth, it was just the armor all along. Eventually, its creator was killed, the mimic 'looted', and its spore spread across the realm.

Entry Mimic

This particular strain of mimics was carefully cultivated into being by a drow matron sick of uninvited guests - both of the adventurer and political rival variety. Resistant to pesky bypassing magic and capable of alerting a building's occupants (and other mimics) of interlopers, entry mimics became all the rage... well, until they started eating honored guests and the occasional house pet. The matron quickly lost favor and stepped through one door never to return... as it were.

Soot Foot

Prior to Death claiming the Kingdom, the zombie dubbed Soot Foot was just another of the faceless masses. While he was a chimney sweep of notable skill, no one noted the ash-smeared lad. Surely, he could have made some money it a sideshow with his double-jointed talents but he preferred the quiet life. He perished in the middle of a job, his already pliant joints tearing into compound fractures as he scrambled to find the flesh of the living. The toxins soaked into his rotting skin give him a unique virality that leaves fiery undead in his weak and he never leaves the cinder of his chimney lairs far behind. -Records of the Charnel House Soot Foot Medium undead (zombie), chaotic evil Armor Class 8 Hit Points 45 (6d8 + 18) Speed 20ft Climb 20ft Str 16 Dex 6 Con 16 Int 3 Wis 8 Cha 5 Skills Stealth +2 Damage Resistances fire Condition Immunities exhaustion, poisoned
