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.

Frame Mimic

Rattling from the shadows, a gaggle of rat-gnawed bones march forward eager to slay the living. One of them lags behind, looking a bit more solid than the rest. You know your mace should have broken the leading skeletons to pieces. Yet, it merely cracked bones instead of shattering them. Tentacles lash out from the slower skeleton, adhering to you and pulling you closer to the maw manifesting from its ribcage. This is the frame mimic. The spawn of the ossuary mimic, this monstrosity also feels a kinship to the undead - specifically animated skeletons. It adopts a group of such horrors and its very presence temporarily empowers them. This is why the skeletons keep it around instead of hacking it to pieces as they would any other living thing. On top of that, frame mimics develop a supernatural stubbornness that can only be called boneheaded. So powerful is this force of will, that it mends their wounds as they plough forward against deadly spells. Frame Mimic Medium Monstrosit...

Brocade Mimic

The masked bard in gaudy attire was strumming away when the bar fight started. It kept playing even as chairs broke and mugs flew. Not one strum was missed even when blood was spilled. Then someone grew sick of the racket and stuck a hand ax into the bard's neck...with a wooden thunk. The fancy vest exploded with teeth, tentacles, and eyes. Then there was the color spray... The first brocade mimic lurked in the rafters of a bard college. Instead of eating a future player, it learned alongside them and caught a passion for the arts. Of course, it could have become an instrument but that wasn't quite grand enough. The mimic became a set of fancy clothes and was worn out the front doors. Sometimes it and its spawn become a bard's best friend. sometimes it pilots a dead one around for a bit, and other times it takes over a mannequin to strike out on its own. No matter how, the show must always go on. Brocade Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral ...

Yoke Mimic

Something tore apart the bandits you've been tracking, but it's not obvious what chewed and in some cases melted them. Maybe there's a wyrmling in the area? Either way, all that remains alive in the camp is a pair of oxen burdened by their cart. Though, they are quite nonplussed given the violence that must have occurred around them. Surely these simple beasts couldn't be the case of the carnage, could they? As you ponder this, the oxen start plodding away, pulling the cart of goods with them. Trying to stop them was the logical thing to do... their yoke coming undone with twin, yawning mouths not so logical. You know what that means... initiative rolls, please. Relatively benign, for a mimic, the yoke mimic was cultivated by an industrious farmer. They didn't see the point of wasting an animal that came into their care, even a strange monstrosity such as this one. It became a valuable tool not only to get fields plowed, but also kept the animals attached to it d...
