Vegan mimics are typically found underneath fruit-bearing trees, taking the form of stones or statues. They hibernate until the harvest season, wherein they grab and bite at anything that lands near them, edible or not (including feet). Despite this, some farmers will tolerate their presence as their waste products fertilize the soil.

A familiar favored by sedentary wizards.

#heroforge #fantasy #mimic

A gray rock with fleshy red pseudopods sits slumped on the floor, with two greenish lizardy eyes staring out at nothing in particular. A robed reptilian person is running in the background.

"Spicy brownwater, pliss!"

"Aw, ain't you a cutie. Now, I'm afraid I can't do that, but I got something better for you..."

"Cow venoms?! But that's a poison!!"

"Now, now. Every growing young dragonborn needs their milk (I think...)"

*angry kobold noises*

#heroforge #fantasy #kobold

A small orange kobold is staring disapprovingly over the countertop of a tavern at a small cup.

"I'm here about some reports regardin' your, er, business."

"Every customer happy, or refund!"

"S'not the *customers* that are complainin'. Do ya solve problems… or just cause 'em?"

"Not picky. You need help?"

#heroforge #koboid #wizard

A small orange kobold in purple robes is sitting behind a worn and dirty crate while resting her head on her hand. The crate has "WIZYRD LIZARD - 5 SILVER PER PROBLEM" handwritten on the side.

Facing her is a humanoid in polished metal armor, with their face out of view.

Deep within the earth, below a labyrinth of caves, lies the ancient stronghold of a terrible mindflayer, or maybe the cult of Lloth, or perhaps very xenophobic dwarves; no one is actually sure who lives there because the defenses around it are just too impenetrable. Amongst the middle-most of these defenses are a nest of oblexes (glistening-green oozes that feed on the minds of their prey) and an army of the undead.

At some point, a particularly small and weak oblex found refuge inside the skull of a skeleton warrior. They lived together for awhile, with the oblex acting as a second set of senses for the skeleton and occasionally feasting upon its victims.

One day, as the dire duo were patrolling along their usual route, a band of *very* dedicated door-to-door clerics ambushed and defeated them. Days later, when they awoke, they discovered that they were fused together into one humanoid being; with the oblex's slime for its flesh and the skeleton's bones for its, er, skeleton. The personalities from the oblex's 'meals' had mixed with the psychic remnants of the warrior's former life into a swirly slurry of a mind, one that sought to help people and live peacefully on the surface.

And so, the newly-formed creature set forth to leave the dungeon, with countless hordes of monsters between it and the sky…

#heroforge #fantasy #plasmoid

A humanoid creature with viscous green skin and 'hair,' with weathered bones poking out of the flesh around the hands, and two pupil-less eyes on a flat featureless face. It is wearing tattered and dented armor, and holding up an unrolled sheet of paper in one hand and a rusty spoon in a pseudopod. It appears to be confused as to what to do next. (Not pictured: the pink fuzzy slippers on its feet.)

POV: You are being asked for directions to the town's "book cave"

#heroforge #fantasy #kobold #wizard

A small lizard-like kobold stands before you. She is wearing a purple robes and a hat that hides her eyes, with tattered brown leather armor on her shoulders. She is holding an ornate staff of wood and metal, and gesturing as if to get your attention. A small mechanical lagomorph sits at her feet. (Special thanks to Steve Purcell, who is the reason why I know the word "lagomorph.")

Five cultists stood in a dark and foreboding cave, chanting in unison as they encircled a baby goat in the middle of a fiendish rune. Soon they all went quiet, and smoke borne of no earthly fire began swirling around them; slowly at first, but gaining speed.

"My brothers!" cried the one with the fanciest headgear, "The time is nigh! Soon we shall bring forth the Lady of Nightmares, and this sacrifice shall bring us… *incredible power!*"

"Hah!" scoffed the cultist next to him. "You have no idea what's been done! I used the Ritual of Crimson Betrayal, which shall feed *your* souls to the Lady, not some feeble farm animal, and then *I* shall wield the power alone!"

The other cultists looked at each other.

"I, uh, I used that one as well." said the one with a crystal eye, sheepishly.

"Were we… not supposed to, or…?" asked the one with a dwarf-tooth necklace.

The leader's glower passed over them all. "Is there any of us who *didn't*-"

The surrounding smoke suddenly rushed into the center of the rune, ripping through the bodies of the cultists and causing them to collapse to the ground together. The small animal was engulfed in the miasma, but unharmed. Out of the shadows rose a figure with red glowing eyes, which locked onto the creature before her. A faint chuckle was heard, then the clearing of a throat.

"You Who Have Survived The Ritual, What Is Your Greatest Desire?"

Anyway that's how the MacFeeneys' goat became an adventurer.

#heroforge #fantasy #eberron

A brown-furred female anthropomorphic goat, with orange eyes with ovaloid irises, and bluish-purple hair braided around her two horns.

She wearing a black leather jacket that's missing a sleeve and being held together by a number of belts, and a purple-and-green tartan dress underneath it.

She is carrying a large ornate metal hammer over one shoulder, which has blood on its tenderizer-like spikes (or maybe just tomato flesh).

She is standing proudly, smiling as she stares off into the middle distance.

A tabaxi culinary artificer, who uses her skills at cooking to do everything from healing wounds to blowing up buildings.

She started when she was a kitten, making biscuits with her mom. :v

#heroforge #fantasy #tabaxi #terriblepuns

An anthropomorphic black cat is wearing an apron over leather armor. She is holding a pie in one hand and a knife in the other; the knife is cutting through the edge of the pie.

An anthropomorphic black cat is wearing an apron over leather armor. She is crouched down in a battle stance, and is holding a frosted cupcake like a grenade.

Dragons used to employ Cabals of Business-Oriented Lizards to oversee their finances; but with the introduction of modern numeration spells, the clans that composed such systems have been largely abandoned to the wilds.

Today, there are farms that will bring out their entire crop by a kobold nest, wait for them to count, sort, and package them, then pay them in barter or a percentage of the harvest. (Country folk that treat them as pests or otherwise run afoul of them will sometimes find their livestock de-alphabetized in the night.)

#heroforge #fantasy #kobold

A kobold, dressed in purple wizardly robes, is clutching a book to her chest while avoiding eye contact.

*kicks down orphanage door*

"Small Humans! I Am Your Auxiliary Fae Matriarch! Your Plight Has Been Deemed Worthy & Capable Of Improvement!"

"Wat?"

"…I Am Here To… *squinting at notes* Save, You. Please Get In The Cart, There Is Candy."

*offscreen facepalm from rest of party*

#heroforge #fantasy #planescape #glitchling

A purple glitchling with wings, dressed in autumn leaves, poses dramatically at the open-air patio exit that was previously the south wall of Carin' Murphy's Discount Bulk Orphan Storage.

"Hi diddle yah, ho loddle wah,
Impending dislocation
of your fi-doddle jaw."

#heroforge #fantasy #spelljammer #autognome

A small automaton, dressed only in a bandanna and booty shorts, glowers menacingly at the viewer while cracking its knuckles.

"That was the best bar brawl I ever been in!"

"Hearty concurment!"

"Didya *seriously* knock my jaw loose just to heal it back into place??

"Event verificated!"

"Can I... ask ya somethin'?"

"Inquiry permitted."

"How do you, uh, drink?"

"..."

"...?"

"...Results pending!"

I saw a meme about members of "evil" D&D races helping people in everyday situations and my brain percolated on that until

hognose yuan-ti.

They've mastered the art of non-violent confrontation, and so have applied their cleverness to new & exciting fields. Try the healing oil!

#heroforge #fantasy

A small yuan-ti, dressed in overalls and work clothes while coiled on the floor, is cheerfully offering a couple of vials to someone out-of-sight.

Indussstry, ssscience, and technology! Ssmall snekss putting wrenchess onto thingss; turning them, and ad-jusssting them!

that is not how bunnies are born, what is that where did you find it wHY ARE YOU PURRING

Ravel

During the purge of Discharged, one terrified warforged stumbled into the presence of a wandering unicorn in the woods. Desperately he pleaded for help, not for himself but his fellow townsfolk, and so the unicorn was moved to empower him with the ability to heal others.
