Crawling Desire




Lowly servants of the fiendish Thirst Slacker crawling desires prey on mortals who feel slighted by and left out of society. Their form is somewhere between a dward-sized centipede and elvish beauty with long, crimson hair. Their honeyed words inspire the resentful to violence, and their bites can do the same to even the most rightous of souls. When interacting with unsuspecting, a crawling desire will animate a dressed-up and veiled skeleton, curl around its spine, and ride the creature about in a grisly disguise. Some even go as far as to decapitate said skeleltons first and stick their heads in their place

Actions

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned by boundless jealousy and rage for the next minute. It regards all creatures it can see as enemies. Whenever the affected creature chooses another creature as a target, it must choose the target at random from among the creatures it can see within range of the attack, spell, or other ability it’s using. If an enemy provokes an opportunity attack from the affected creature, the creature must make that attack if it is able to. At the end of its turns, the creature may repeat this save with the effect ending on success.

Roll the Bones (1/long rest)

The crawling desire animates a skeleton of a humanoid corpse it can see within 10ft. This puppeted creature acts as the skeleton monster for the next minute, or until it or the fiend are slain. Any time the crawling desire takes damage it must succeed on a Concentration check with the skeleton being slain on failure.

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.

Bauble Mimic

A collection of stunted mimic polyps, the first set of bauble mimics were at first struggling to feed themselves. That was until, they noticed that prey often poked chests, doors, and other common objects their normal brethren became. However, when it came to shiny gems, people and even some animals picked them up without a second thought. Avarice is a powerful thing after all. Plus, it was easy to hide in travel and loot. Over time, they also discovered that certain gem shapes imbued them with odd abilities for one reason or another. The bauble mimics didn't bother with the why, instead, they spread far and wide across the region. Bauble Mimic Tiny Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 11 (natural armor) Hit Points 18 (4d4 + 8) Speed 15 ft Str 14 Dex 10 Con 15 Int 4 Wis 8 Cha 13 Skills Stealth +4 Damage Immunities acid Condition Immunities prone Senses darkvision 60 ft, p
