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.

Bolt (Recharge 5-6).

Crackle turns into a lance of lightning and instantly travels up to 30ft in a straight line. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks and ends any restrained effect.

Creatures that save this save by 5 or more are also Incapacitated.

Portcullis Mimic

What is a castle opening if not a giant mouth waiting for teeth? At least, that's how the portcullis mimic sees it and the monstrosity is all too happy to provide the chompers. No one can say for sure where the first of this breed came from, or why they are so tough. One thing is for sure, evil overlords love breeding, feeding, and pampering theirs. Many a popular uprising has been stopped the moment the battering ram gets stuck and the gate starts chewing. Feral mimics of this breed search out abandoned keeps, ruined castles,and many-halled dungeons for their lairs.

Fifth Mimic

There was once a gambler who was tossed out one too many times by a particular innkeeper and decided to get revenge. How said gambler got this particular mimic runt and taught it take the shape of a bottle? They're not telling. However, it sprang the perfect trap on that damn innkeeper and several of the barflies who tried to help. The gambler also won't divulge how he taught the mimic to fire endless corks with the force of halfling sling stones or why so many of the bottles around town became these monstrosities within a year.

Frame Mimic

Rattling from the shadows, a gaggle of rat-gnawed bones march forward eager to slay the living. One of them lags behind, looking a bit more solid than the rest. You know your mace should have broken the leading skeletons to pieces. Yet, it merely cracked bones instead of shattering them. Tentacles lash out from the slower skeleton, adhering to you and pulling you closer to the maw manifesting from its ribcage. This is the frame mimic. The spawn of the ossuary mimic, this monstrosity also feels a kinship to the undead - specifically animated skeletons. It adopts a group of such horrors and its very presence temporarily empowers them. This is why the skeletons keep it around instead of hacking it to pieces as they would any other living thing. On top of that, frame mimics develop a supernatural stubbornness that can only be called boneheaded. So powerful is this force of will, that it mends their wounds as they plough forward against deadly spells. Frame Mimic Medium Monstrosit
