Plum Pudding Mimic




One might think a dessert mimic amusing, perhaps even silly. That is until they encounter this horror. Constantly ravenous for fresh humanoid fat and treasure, the monstrosity disguises itself as a tasty treat of mammoth proportions. Often its hunting grounds are in city slums or destitute villages where hungry overcomes common sense. It may not get rich quick in such places, but it certainly gets fed.


Little Ma'ack Orner

found it in the corner,

A great big festive pie;

He put in his thumb,

And was pulled into the chum,

And screamed, "What a dead boy am I!"

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a giant dessert 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. A creature that the mimic is bonded too is not affective by the Adhesive ability unless the mimic wishes to do so.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a fine, long coat.

Brandy Blast (Object Form Only).

Any time the mimic is hit by a melee attack by a creature within 5ft, that creature must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity save or be spattered with boiling brandy sauce. The creature takes 2 (1d4) Fire Damage and is Intoxicated (IE Poisoned) until the end of its next turn.

Grappler.

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

Actions

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 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: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or the mimic sucks fat from its body to make more suet. An affected creature's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Reactions

Sixpence.

If the mimic scores a critical hit on a creature, it may use its reaction to pilfer 1d10 coins, a gem, or a loose piece of jewelry from its victim. As such, the mimic often drops more treasure than other creatures of its CR.

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.

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. 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. Expanded Spell List The Embalmed lets you choose from an expanded list of Spells when you learn a Warlock spell.

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) ...
