Sailed Mimic




Proof that you are never what you eat, this dour mimic always wanted to fly from the first time it saw a bird at wing. However, no matter how many it ate, it never learned the trait. Then it moved on to bigger prey that could fly and when neither griffon nor chimera worked, the mimic fell to despair. It ate, and ate, becoming buildings to lure prey in. Then one day, a hurricane swept through the region and it saw a structure take flight seemingly propelled by its four wide sails. From there on, it achieved its dreams as a dilapidated windmill. Drifting from bleak forest to forest it feeds on the unwary wherever it touches down. Oddly, those it once devoured now treat it as one of their own.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a windmill 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 Gargantuan or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 17). 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 windmill.

Flock Together (Object Form Only).

All beast swarms that begin their turn within 30ft of the mimic must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom save or be charmed by the mimic for the next 24 hours and treat it as an ally. This ability negates a swarms immunity to the charmed condition.

Grappler.

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

Sky Sailing (Object Form Only).

The mimic only has its fly speed while in object form, but loses False Appearance whenever it moves.

Actions

Multiattack.

The mimic makes two pseudopod attacks.

Pseuedpod.

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) acid damage.

Bonus Actions

Tosser.

The mimic chooses one creature that it is grappling. That creature gains a 30 ft fly speed until the end of its next turn. The creature must succeed on a DC 17 Strength save or the mimic controls its movement until the end of its next turn.

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
