I'm imagining something that's born when a traveller lost in the woods is killed/dies to the elements and the soul refuses to move on. The blood seeps out of their body and forms the axe, which acts as the foci for their hatred. Short, violent lives as they run their course before their entire body falls apart as it's consumed by the axe. By the end, they're little more than a sillouette of their past selves wielding a wicked looking axe before that too fading and the only evidence the Daradyd even existed is the wanton destruction left around them.

Embalming Monster

>Can only ever be in light, darkness makes them freeze
The brighter the surroundings, the faster the creature can move. Flashbulbs = temporary super speed.

The creature is effectively indestructible, so it was sealed away by being buried alive so the darkness paralyzed it. This worked perfectly until some unfortunate adventurers misunderstood the "not a place of honor" warnings and released it.

Edgy mode:
it has a telescopic horn on its back, that is hidden beneath the folds of its skin. It uses a glamour to appear beautiful and innocent to virgins. When they mount he beast, the skin folds away and the horn pierces through the victim, up through its entire body and out its mouth. It acts as a parasite, both consuming the body for sustenance as well as keeping it alive to prolong its suffering. During this time, it dispels its glamour and rides around displaying its true nightmarish features. The victim can often be heard crying, whimpering and pleading for death.

Instead, they shriek in the dark.
They have invasively overtaken the area around a town, so the villagers have to put torches all over the place just to get some sleep.
They send the party on a quest to drow society to confirm the rumors that they have rituals to create permanent colored lights on objects and bring back someone to illuminate the town because no matter how many times they burn the mushrooms, they come back.

Yeah its a reverse gorgon. Instead of a human with snakes for hair its a snake with humans for scales. Instead of turning flesh to stone they turn stone to flesh. Its an easy to grasp concept.

This one would be a great reward for a party after a failed dungeon expedition. Have them risk their lives, only to find out what they were after was already taken/killed/accomplished, then when they get out, BAM! Hit them with a reverse mimic and let them enjoy the treasures inside.

They just want to make you happy when you see what they've made for you.

How would they notice right off?

It looks like a normal treasure chest, it's a mimic. Since it was described as squishing itself flat, maybe it just has a thin layer of barely noticable transparent gel on the inside when it's opened.

If you want them to notice it, maybe send them to the same place twice and one of the chests is inexplicably full again? And if one of the players acts suspicious of it, have it quickly scramble off and around a corner, accidentally tipping and the item inside falls out to the ground.

If your players are anything like mine, if they can't see it right off, they'll try to check the fallen item over to see if it's cursed/trapped/evil, because hey, free loot, and if not will try to figure out what the hell the little thing is.

Now that they're interested, play up the "helpless" angle. Maybe it's fallen over and can't get up, little psuedopod feet wiggling ineffectually. Maybe it somehow managed to irritate something else in the dungeon and when the party catches up it has claw marks in its wood and whatever monster you choose is trying to pry it open.

I don't know if this would be the right thread for it, but I had a dream last night about a Werewolf variant that I need to write down somewhere before I forget it. Not a lot of it will make sense because I'm just half-remembering something that was working based on dream logic.

It was called a WereWere(I know Were just means Man in this context, but like I said, dream logic).
>At first looked indistinguishable from a werewolf, aside from occasionally attacking with stretchy Mr Fantastic arms. Functionally, most WereWere's are also indistinguishable from normal Werewolves.
>WereWeres, instead of being infected with a wolf-changing virus, were infected with the concept of change
>This causes the infectees to change based on their sense of self. Since most assume they were infected by werewolves and will become werewolves, they do.
>Others go through no change because they still see themselves as normal. This is most common in people who are aware of a WereWere's true nature ahead of time.
>Even rarer are the people who can take advantage of the concept of change and alter their sense of self to basically become shapeshifters with no limit beyond how far they can stretch their sense of self, hence the strechy arms from the original WereWere.
>A true WereWere master who could stretch his sense of self beyond his own body and basically become a limited reality warper.
>the WereWere "virus" isn't infectious by default, and usually only becomes so if the person thinks they are infectious(like most Werewolves) or if they're intentionally passing it on

>>52774569
You could have just said a snake with human hair. That would make the most sense.

Theyre super wary of chests at this point and shoot them with arrows before evwn touching them. Probably cauae the last DM they had made chests spontaneously turn into mimics if you didnt keep an eye on them for too long.
