Mosaic Strict: BattleBrother Monsters + Kha'Zix as a Monster
I recently played some Battle Brothers again and thought these beasts could make for some cool monster in a DnD campaign, so here are some Mosaic Strict Creations inspired by BattleBrother monsters.
Lindwurm
Bites like a bear.
Its tail lashes out against all adjacent targets like a bear claw.
Armored like plate mail.
Armored like leather if the atttacker knows of a weakpoint on their side.
Weakpoints are created evry time the Lindwurms armor is punctured.
Additionally gathering rumours and talking with hunters who had previous encounters with the Lindwurm may reveal preexisting weakpoints.
The Lindwurms blood is like acid.
Evry time the Lindwurm is successfully struck by a weapon shorter than a spear the attacker is splatered with acid corroding armor and flesh.
Nachtzehrer
While plenty full these beasts start out as small as a child and are easily scared away. They consume both humanoid corpses and those of their kind to evolve into a more monstrous stage. With each stage they grow in size and confidence.
They start out as strong as a fox.
Then they become as strong as a dog.
Then they become as strong as a berserker.
Then they become as strong as a bear.
Finally theyA may swallow a single target whole. This will not immediatly kill the target but incapacitates it while slowly devouring it and still retaining the combat strength as a bear.
Unhold
Armor like chain.
Charges like a bull.
Punches like a bear and tosses them back.
May grap enemies and toss them over its head.
Regenerates wounds during combat.
Serpent
Armor like leather.
Bites like a dagger.
On bites injestes a poison that slows down the victim.
May use its tail to grab a target up to human size and drag it towards it.
Schrat
Armor like Chain.
The Schrat is protected by a large regenerating second wood skin.
Before the Schrat can be propperly attacked the second skin needs to be broken by an axe like weapon.
The schrat punches like a hammer.
On a succesfull hit the Schrat implants a sapling in the target.
Sapling are unarmored.
Sapling may attack its victim or any target adjacent to it.
Saplings attack like a spear.
Kha'Zix
Because i am also playing some League of Legends again a quick Kha'Zix as a monster bonus.
These praying lotus like giant bugs are solitary, highly territorial predators.
They are usually born with only one of the features.
They heavily overhunt there territory and therefore keep expanding it.
When their territory comes into contact with that of another predator their sole goal becomes to hunt down that predator.
When they manage to prey on one of their kind they develop the features of their prey on their own or evolve their features if they already possesed a the feature.
These predator bugs dont mate. Instead once they have devoured enough of their kind to fully evolve all their features they will go on a hunting spree and instead of consuming their prey implant their eggs into them. They do so untill they starve leaving their body as nourishment for the remaining eggs not yet implanted into prey.
May make a quick bite like wolf.
Features
While not hindered by surrounding terrain or enemies may take some time to unfold its full jaw and attack like a guillotine.
Evolved: May do so in the time it takes to swing a greatsword.
Features
May spit a goe accid at a target.
Evolved: May spit the accid as a breath attack.
Features
May leap 10ft wide or 5ft high.
Evolved: May leap 30ft wide or 15 ft high.
Features
Like a chameleon standing still its shell takes on the perfect camouflage of its surrounding.
Evolved: Its camouflage even adopts during movement.
