Idolatrous Mimic




One can only speculate if this mimic is some manner of diety or not. It certainly draws energy from those worshipping it, whether it is a golden idol, winged outsider, or scaled fiend. It is also highly intelligent and plays its flock expertly, even if religion really isn't its strong suit. If it makes a misstep, the mimic merely devours the formerly devout, moves to a new area, and sets up a new following. It does the same if the blood sacrifices to it cease, or its followers refuse to take up the practice.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a celestial, fey, fiend, object, or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't absorbed into its mass. It reverts to its true form if it dies and any equipment it carries is spilled out in a space within 10ft of its corpse.

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 23). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage​.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.

Grappler.

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

Immutable Form.

The mimic is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form other than its own Shapechanger ability.

Invested.

If the mimic is currently being venerated or worshiped by any creature within 120ft, it gains advantage on all saving throws against spells and other magical effects. In addition, it regains 10 hit points at the start of each turn as long as it has at least 1 hit point.

Magic Weapons.

The mimic's weapon attacks are magical.

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic makes a pseudopod and bite attacks. In a non-mimic form, it may always make a pseudopod attack in place of any one of the attacks that form has.

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) 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: 9 (1d10 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Objectification.

Target creature that the mimic can see within 120ft must succeed on a DC 21 Constitution save or be polymorphed into an object of the mimic's choice. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. The creature reverts to its true form if it dies.


For the next minute, the creature repeats this save with the effect ending on success. If the creature does not succeed after this time, they are stuck in object form until either the mimic dies or uses its bonus action to end Objectification. The mimic retains this action even when polymorphed.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

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) ...

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.
