Nice work !

Ah, the dreaded mimic. The classic dungeon monster. It looks like a harmless chest, inviting bed or harmless door, until the teeth and tongue come out. Then you're called stumpy by the rest of your adventuring party.

this leads back to the good old gazebo or house mimic

[kirinke]

Gazebo is possible, Tiny House or child's playhouse would work. I guess if you have an elder mimic, you could go house size. ^_^

That gives me nightmares.

[catsi563]

ive run into one bloody thing had gotten as big as a good sized mansion. most of the adventure was trying to figure out why npcs kept disappearing.

[Jabroniville]

Wow, awesome! You finished all the Mephits, and are now on to other stuff! I keep forgetting to check one day and then you post 4-5 more builds, lol!

[kirinke]

Yeah I was in a slump.

[kirinke]

You could do a credible haunted house scenario with a mimic as the house!

[kirinke]

Minotaurs are a horrific crossbreed between man and bull. Don't ask. The legend is seriously screwed up.

[Jabroniville]

The sheer glut of undead in D&D was always so interesting. I think it stems from the fact that so many villains and schools of magic were "Themed", and thus you needed different levels of threats throughout. And, since players would get bored just fighting zombie & skeleton hordes, different creatures were invented, such as the Mohrgs, and different powers were added to other creatures to diversify their threats, such as the Mummy's "Mummy Rot".

[kirinke]

That and wizards and evil in general are a demented bunch. Lol. I really didn't stat up a Mummy Lord. That's going into PL X territory in my opinion. Just look at Imhotep in "The Mummy". That was a properly scary mother.

[kirinke]

Dark Naga are evil creatures with the heads and upper torsos of beautiful people and the long sinuous tail of a snake.
