The Bog Beast




"Not sure what breed o' gobbo this blighter used to be. Ain't been their kind that's infested the swamps fer ages. Yet, here it is.


Figure that the little thing o' purple rags o' flesh and pitted bones got infested by some sort of leech-mite things. Seems it was just as poisonous ta the vermin as they were to it. Now dozens of the fat, vile squirmers writhe in its porous form.


Careful they don't get on you or the damn things will eat ya alive. Hell, they even devour the risen. Cunning bastard always lays traps too. Be careful."


-Fossor Carvilius Graeme

The ghost can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.

Squirming Swipe.

Melee Spell Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) necrotic damage. In addition, a creature must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity save or be infested with Spectral Squirmers.


An infested creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution save every hour or lose one unspent Hit Dice. If a creature cannot lose a Hit Dice, it dies and its corpse is rapidly reduced to ectoplasm. A Greater Restoration or Heal spell ends the infestation, as does entering hallowed ground or if the creature takes at least 13 Radiant damage.

Etherealness:

The ghost enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet it can't affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.

Create Effigy.

The ghost transforms a pile of swamp debris within 5ft into an ordinary object of its choice of the same size. This transformation lasts until the next sunrise or until a creature other than a warm of tiny beasts touches it. The ghost can have up 3 such effigies at a time.

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.
