Pendulum Mimic




Raised by a mad gnome trap-master (is there any other kind?), this species of mimic keeps an internal clock no matter what shape it takes. However, said shapes are limited to pendulums. Whether in a clock or a death trap, the mimic knows how running out time grips the hearts of other creatures and uses that to their advantage. They can also manipulate the timing of traps around them, making them perfect keepers for certain horrific tombs.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a pendulum 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 mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 14). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

False Appearance (Object Form Only)

While the mimic remains motionless save for how it is supposed to move, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary pendulum.

Grappler.

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

Perfect Timing.

The mimic is immune to the Haste and Slow spells along with any similar magical effects

Actions

Pseudopod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

Razor Slash (Object Form Only).

Target creature within 5ft of the mimic must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity save or take 15 (2d10+4) slashing damage. As the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait

Dread.

Target creature that the mimic can see within 10ft must succeed on a DC 12 Wisdom save or be Restrained until the end of their next turn. Creatures that are immune to fear are immune to this effect.

Reactions

Oscillation.

When a creature attempts to overcome a trap within 15ft of the mimic, the mimic may use its reaction to give the creature Disadvantage on the appropriate roll.

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.

The Black Lady

The Black Lady claims to be the The King of Fools' concubine and takes pride in the title despite how other devils look down on her and the rest of the cavalcade for it. She adores the 'silly' archdevil to no end and works tirelessly to ensure that the devils beneath him show the properly courtly respect that her lord is due... if he is around. Otherwise, she focuses more on vicious gossip, violent fetes, and malicious matchmaking. Pitch black in skin with burning red eyes, the Black Lady's legs end in smolding pig hooves while long, curled horns poke from her ebony coiffure. She wears a variety of overy fancy dresses that are always stripped, monochrome, and risque. One accessory she is never without is an enchanted fan made from burnt angel feathers. This fan is as sharp as any demon's claws and will always return to her hand. The Black Lady Medium Fiend (devil), lawful evil Armor Class 22 (natural armor) Hit Points...

Crackle

A singular being, Crackle is a bolt of lightning given sentience after hiting a monk meditating atop the mountain. In fact, it believes it is that very monk reincarbated from a smoldering husk instead of the force which killed it. Crackle takes on a humanoid shape, chaning its lighting to appear to have skin and clothing. However, ripples of electricity constantly wiggle along its form. Often times its hair, clothing, and arms will clip through one another for Crackle is an imperfect copy. Crackle travels about, driven by a strong sense of law if not justice. It has a hard time empathizing with other points of view than the one it adopted and flies into a rage when pressed on its true nature.
