The Tombrobbed




Long kept on display in the Royal Museum, this preserved giant's corpse was pulled out of a tarpit with a great of its blackened flesh attached. At the time, it was thought to have been an esteemed member of a now-defunct tribe of giants that once ruled the region. Ever since Death swept the Region, it is a lumber pile of oozing tar, hunger, and a great deal more rotting flesh that is not its own. Each creature it absorbs adds more 'muscle' mass to the giant zombie, their warped, slick bodies filling out the regal form that once was.

Absorb.

The zombie attempts to absorb a Medium or smaller creature it is grappling with. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Strength save or be Absorbed. The absorbed creature can't breathe, is restrained, and takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage at the start of each of the zombie's turns. When the zombie moves, the engulfed creature moves with it.


An absorbed creature can try to escape by taking an action to make a DC 15 Strength check. On a success, the creature escapes and enters a space of its choice within 5 feet of the zombie. Another creature within 5ft may use its action to pull an absorbed creature free with a successful DC 15 Strength Check. If that creature fails this check by 5 or more, however, it is subject to the zombie's Adhesive trait.

Adhesive.

The zombie adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the zombie is also grappled by it (escape DC 15). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Tar Pit.

Any time a creature strikes the zombie with a melee weapon, they must succeed on a DC 15 Strength save or be disarmed as the weapon becomes stuck in the zombie's muck. Even after the zombie is destroyed, it takes a DC 15 Strength test to pull the weapon free.

Undead Fortitude.

If damage reduces the zombie to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5+the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the zombie drops to 1 hit point instead.

Actions

Multiattack.

The zombie makes two attacks.

Slam.

Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage. In addition, the creature is subject to the zombie's Adhesive trait.

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.
