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.

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
