Hoard Mimic

D&D 2024 monster: Hoard Mimic. Source: Fizban's Treasury of Dragons. challenge rating 8, creature type Monstrosity, Huge size, speed 30 ft. Kin to the common mimic described in the Monster Manual, hoard mimics are among the oldest and most cunning of their kind. A hoard mimic's massive, amorphous form and shape-shifting prowess allow it to take on the semblance of a vast trove of treasures, not just a single object. Like smaller mimics, hoard mimics exude adhesive goo to trap prey. They can also vent a fine, caustic mist from their pores that burns and blinds creatures caught in it. Hoard mimics are so named because many enter into partnerships with dragons, each one serving as a false hoard in a dragon's lair to draw unwitting intruders away from the real riches-and into the mimic's maw. If faced with unexpectedly fierce opposition, though, a hoard mimic might offer information about the true hoard in exchange for its life. Monstrosity Huge 30 ft.
