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

Ethereal Sight:

The ghost can see 60 ft. into the Ethereal Plane when it is on the Material Plane, and vice versa.

Grub Hub.

The ghost automatically charms any swarm of tiny beasts of CR 2 or less within 30ft. The swarm becomes friendly to the ghost and follows its mental commands as long as it remains within 90ft.

Incorporeal Movement:

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.

Actions

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.

Cuirassier Mimic

Hand-crafted by an aberrant soul, the first mimic of this breed was given to the creature's loyal bodyguard to provide both protection... and a second bodyguard as it were. The monstrosity performed exceptionally well, especially when heroes slew the fellow wearing it and the mimic kept the bottom fighting. Thus the cuirassier mimic was passed to the next right-hand-mook, and so on as its bearers passed. This lead to a legend of an immortal servant when in truth, it was just the armor all along. Eventually, its creator was killed, the mimic 'looted', and its spore spread across the realm.

Entry Mimic

This particular strain of mimics was carefully cultivated into being by a drow matron sick of uninvited guests - both of the adventurer and political rival variety. Resistant to pesky bypassing magic and capable of alerting a building's occupants (and other mimics) of interlopers, entry mimics became all the rage... well, until they started eating honored guests and the occasional house pet. The matron quickly lost favor and stepped through one door never to return... as it were.

Soot Foot

Prior to Death claiming the Kingdom, the zombie dubbed Soot Foot was just another of the faceless masses. While he was a chimney sweep of notable skill, no one noted the ash-smeared lad. Surely, he could have made some money it a sideshow with his double-jointed talents but he preferred the quiet life. He perished in the middle of a job, his already pliant joints tearing into compound fractures as he scrambled to find the flesh of the living. The toxins soaked into his rotting skin give him a unique virality that leaves fiery undead in his weak and he never leaves the cinder of his chimney lairs far behind. -Records of the Charnel House Soot Foot Medium undead (zombie), chaotic evil Armor Class 8 Hit Points 45 (6d8 + 18) Speed 20ft Climb 20ft Str 16 Dex 6 Con 16 Int 3 Wis 8 Cha 5 Skills Stealth +2 Damage Resistances fire Condition Immunities exhaustion, poisoned
