Iced Mimic




An odd and psychotic breed of monstrosity, the ice mimic enters a hibernation state for the warmest season of the year. As soon as the weather turns and snow falls, it awakens and begins its terrifying hunt. Taking the form of snow sculptures, the mimic stalks prey switching from normal to horrid form in the blink of an eye. Its bulk rapidly glows as it gluts on frightened creatures, building up fat before falling into slumber once more.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a snowman 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.

Cold Absorption.

Whenever the mimic is subjected to cold damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to the cold damage dealt.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a snowman.

Grappler.

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

Soon to Melt Away (Object Form Only).

The mimic is vulnerable to fire damage.

Actions

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 6 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: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) acid damage.

Frightful Presence.

Each creature of the mimic's choice that is within 120 feet of the mimic and aware of it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the mimics's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Bonus Actions

Snow Step.

The mimic dissolves into a cloud of snow and teleports to a space it can see within 30ft that is covered in snow.

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.

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.

Knave of Knights

Bound to the Cavalcade of the King of Fools , this fallen angels wears a mockup of platemail armor crafted from bright pressed velvet and knitted wool but his weapons are nevertheless quite real. Said weapons are a whip crafted from liars's tongues and a lance of hell iron he wields as if it was made from driftwood. The stub of burnt wings jut from his back with multi-colored streamers dangling from the charred bones. The Knave of Knights fell in with the Cavalcade when he vowed to defend a rightful king's right to rule, only to find out that the sire he fell in with was a bastard usurper who had successfully taken his brother's place. Cursed and broken mentally by the deception, he was easily felled by the King of Fools and given a new place at the archdevil's side serving as his jester and favored knight all wrapped into one.
