Wrecking Mimic




Mimics not only use well, mimicry, to lure in their prey, but also the natural curiosity most animals display. This goes double for humanoids. While some are content to be chests, doors, and the like, the wreaking mimic sets the scene as an overturned, destroyed, or otherwise incapacitated trade card. Scattered around it are cracked items and whatever inciting goods it extracts from its victims. Naturally, passerbyes approach looking for an easy score. That's when the mimic strikes. Not only does it crush and bite, but it's acidic nature breaks down whatever metal the prey might be carrying. This adds more honey to attack the flies, as it were.

Shapechanger.

The corpse cart can use its action to polymorph into a broken-down cart or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

The corpse cart adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the corpse cart is also grappled by it (escape DC 14). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Contagious Disaster.

Whenever the mimic is missed by an attack originating within 30ft of it, the next attack made against the mimic within the next minute suffers Disadvantage.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While the corpse cart remains motionless in its cart state, it is indistinguishable from a broken-down cart.

Grappler.

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

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic can make an attack and use its Rivening Nature.

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) bludgeoning damage.If the creature is in its cart form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Rivening Nature.

The mimic's acidic nature dissolves a nonmagical ferrous metal object it can see within 10 feet of it. If the object isn't being worn or carried, the touch destroys a 1-foot cube of it leaving scattered debris behind. If the object is being worn or carried by a creature, the creature can make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw to avoid the mimic's touch.


If the object touched is either metal armor or a metal shield being worn or carried, it takes a permanent and cumulative −1 penalty to the AC it offers. Armor reduced to an AC of 10 or a shield that drops to a +0 bonus is destroyed. If the object is a weapon, the weapon takes a permanent and cumulative −1 penalty to damage rolls. If its penalty drops to −5, the weapon is destroyed.

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.

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.

Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power.
