"Pretty obvious why they call this spirit Green Bones. What's not so obvious, at first, is that it's a ghost rather than some ambulatory collection of moldy marrow. Green Bones likes it that way, often gathering walkin' skeletons flensed by her thorns to serve as fodder. She even makes sure they grow fungus. Devious elf this one, though, her heart used to be in the right place instead o' chunks of it floatin' in her ribcage like crystalized ruby. Used to be a hunter o' monsters, she was. Still is, but her definition o' monster has just change a bit. Sometimes, she's grindin' vampires to bits n' the next night she's endin' villagers that took too much from the forest. More menace than help. Ya all know what to do." -Fossor Carvilius Graeme Green Bones Medium undead, chaotic neutral Armor Class 13 Hit Points 71 (11d8 + 22) Speed 0ft ...

The first one of these terrors started off as the runt polyp of its liter. Taken in by a deranged soul, it aided in a string of brutal murders. Though, it only saw its wielder as a protector and true friend. After all, it never left an encounter famished. When its 'friend' was finally slain, the mimic wisely laid inert. It worked its way into a cook's panoply and slowly by giving visions of the woman giving into her resentment and rage. Soon enough the bloodshed began anew. Since then, its spawn has spread far and wide, and with them, a rash of normal people snapping. Some speak of a secret cult dedicated to 'the biting blades'. Let's hope that is just a rumor...

"One might think I was never much for writin', but keeping track o' the dead was part o' my profession. Suppose it still is. This dead fella. Well, he fancies keepin' track o' the living n' making them jus as dead as he. Started out as a scribe then made fancy, illuminated tomes. Some rouges broke in to steal his work n' the vain fool tried stoppin' them. They forced him to swallow ink till he died. Weren't a pretty death neither. He makes pretty letters that slays folks tho. I'll give em that. Makes ink outta their agony too. His wells never run dry.

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.

"Most folks see forest gnomes as gentle souls n' I suppose this spirit started out that way. It ain't anymore, but I'd not be bringin' this to yer lot if'n it was a benevolent ghost, eh? Little more than a wee silhouette with green glowing eyes, ya can spot barbed braches brustin from its form here n' there. Rumor has it they were cast out by their druidic order. Somethin' about wantin' to embrace the natural rot o' the world. Ended up strung up on a brier to die. Die they did. Now, they want to bring death to the rest of the wood. We can't have that, can we? Be careful tho, it can change into anything risen it's seen before and back again. Makes it damn hard to stop, that it does. Worst o' all, the animals it once protected follow it in a rotten horde now. Ever fought a zombie bear? Well, yer about to." -Fossor Carvilius Graeme The Caretaker Small undead, chaotic evil Armor Class ...

Some mimics prefer a symbiotic relationship to a strictly predatory one. A case in point is this monstrosity that prefers the shape of an ornate vase, and not the sort for decoration alone. Oh no, this mimic will plant and tend to greenery all on its own if it has too. Not only does it find the companionship soothing, but it can also then use the plant and others as an ally of sorts in combat. That and, many adventurers discount it as a mimic out of hand because of the living thing within. More fertilizer for its leafy friends.

"Lady folk tend to like this fella, least till they see him up close. That's when they notice his slim, exposed ribcage and the fist-sized phase spiders crawling over 'nother within. Always known drow got a thing fer siders, but this one takes it a bit too far. Stories hold he used to be a wizard o' some sort, played at being a lady's fella n' toothless. Not literal, mind'ya. He had a pretty smile. He was also a spy for an evil drow house deep below the city. Problem was he failed in his missions a few too many times n' as punishment his people fed him live spiders till he died. Course, didn't stay dead. Never do. He don't bother his own people none, but continues to terrorize the surface. Dun know how ya feel 'bout spiders. Dun care. He needs to be laid to rest." -Fossor Carvilius Graeme The Colony Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor Class 13 Hit Points 71 ...

There once was a mimic that snuck into the shop of a gnomish haberdasher and was immediately attracted to the hats... the terrible... crazy hats. They were so garish and adorned the mimic could not resist but take their shapes. Time and time again, it would leave on the head of a customer, devour that head, and come back for another round. Eventually, the gnome caught on and started weaving the mimic's magic into their designs. Eventually, that magic blossomed further. The mimic could create its own hat and drive others to do its bidding of sorts. The gnome didn't survive.

"Some still think this orcish horror be a comely lass despite being dead, see-through green, and riddled with black veins. She's shapely I suppose. Dun wear much other than the blood-soaked bandages she died in. Different tides fer different ships 'suppose. Any rate, dun matter if she raises your mast or no, she'll infecta with her blackblood just the same. Seems she died o' her infected wounds in the sewers after escapin' the keep's dungeons. I'm sure she suffered there too given her state. Now she's a bitter thing looking to spread pain among humanfolk n' their allies. She hates orcs that truck with humans the most o' all. Beware her caress, no matter how temptin' it may be." -Fossor Carvilius Graeme The Blackblood Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor Class 12 Hit Points 82 (11d8 + 33) Speed 0ft Flight 40ft (hover) Str 8 Dex 14 C...
