Milliner Mimic




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.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a magical hat 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 Medium or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 13). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage. The mimic can activate or deactivate this ability as a bonus action.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

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

Grappler.

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

Share Mimicry (Object Form Only).

A creature wearing the milliner mimic may cast disguise self and minor illusion (sounds only) at will.

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.

Mad Hatter (1/long rest).

The mimic targets one creature it can see within 90ft. The creature must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom save or become charmed by the mimic for the next minute. While the target is charmed in this way, a hat similar to the last form the mimic took appears on its head, and a madness glows in its eyes. The mimic turns Invisible for the duration.


The charmed target must use its action before moving on each of its turns to make a melee attack against a creature other than itself that the mimic mentally chooses. The target can act normally on its turn if the mimic chooses no creature or if none are within its reach.


On each of the mimic's subsequent turns, it must use its reaction to maintain control over the target, or the spell ends. Also, the target can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, the spell ends. If the mimic takes any Action, its invisibility ends, but the charm does not.

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.

The Black Lady

The Black Lady claims to be the The King of Fools' concubine and takes pride in the title despite how other devils look down on her and the rest of the cavalcade for it. She adores the 'silly' archdevil to no end and works tirelessly to ensure that the devils beneath him show the properly courtly respect that her lord is due... if he is around. Otherwise, she focuses more on vicious gossip, violent fetes, and malicious matchmaking. Pitch black in skin with burning red eyes, the Black Lady's legs end in smolding pig hooves while long, curled horns poke from her ebony coiffure. She wears a variety of overy fancy dresses that are always stripped, monochrome, and risque. One accessory she is never without is an enchanted fan made from burnt angel feathers. This fan is as sharp as any demon's claws and will always return to her hand. The Black Lady Medium Fiend (devil), lawful evil Armor Class 22 (natural armor) Hit Points...

Crackle

A singular being, Crackle is a bolt of lightning given sentience after hiting a monk meditating atop the mountain. In fact, it believes it is that very monk reincarbated from a smoldering husk instead of the force which killed it. Crackle takes on a humanoid shape, chaning its lighting to appear to have skin and clothing. However, ripples of electricity constantly wiggle along its form. Often times its hair, clothing, and arms will clip through one another for Crackle is an imperfect copy. Crackle travels about, driven by a strong sense of law if not justice. It has a hard time empathizing with other points of view than the one it adopted and flies into a rage when pressed on its true nature.
