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.

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
