  • Fleshling Horde, Tiny, Organized, Hoarder, Amorphous
    Constrict & suffocate (d4-2 damage) 4 HP 1 armor
    Hand, Ignores Armor
    Special Qualities: Paralyzing

    These small blobs of flesh seek out useful resources for the Shapeless One's brood of corrupted creatures. As they lack the ability to conceal their nature, they are sent only to selected areas where their numbers will not garner attention. If disturbed, fleshlings will surround threatening creatures, paralyze them with their slimy coating, and attempt to choke them by forcing themselves into the oral cavity. Instinct: to swarm

    • collect valuable resources
    • release chemical vapor
    • surround threatening creatures

  • Maddened Dwarf Group, Organized, Intelligent, Paranoid
    attack with axe and bow (d6+2 damage) 8 HP 2 armor
    Close, Forceful, Near

    This dwarf is not corrupted, but has seen enough of his kin fall prey that he doesn't know who to trust anymore. Paranoid and dangerous, a maddened dwarf and his small band of allies will attack creatures they deem suspicious with the smallest provocation. Instinct: to defend

    • hunt down suspicious creatures
    • call for reinforcements

  • Corrupted Dwarf Group, Organized, Amorphous, Terrifying, Stealthy
    lash out with fleshy appendage (d8+2 damage 1 piercing) 12 HP 2 armor
    Close, Reach
    Special Qualities: Corrupted, Flesh-shaper, Poisonous

    These dwarves have been corrupted by the Shapeless One. Though they cannot fully alter their form to imitate other creatures yet, given time they will. In the interim, they can reshape bone and sinew into vicious weapons in a matter of seconds, after luring foes into a false sense of security. With a successful wound, foes may find themselves becoming corrupted as well. Any intelligence they display is little more than instinct from their pre-corrupted form. Instinct: to lure in

    • grab with fleshy tendrils
    • reshape flesh into weapons
    • alert broodmates

  • The Shapeless One Large, Solitary, Intelligent, Planar, Terrifying, Amorphous, Devious, Stealthy
    fleshy appendage (d12+2 damage 2 piercing) 19 HP 3 armor
    Messy, Close, Reach
    Special Qualities: Shapechanging

    There's lots of beasties that prowl the night, and then there's this. The product of some curse, mistake, ritual or tremendous evil intent, the amorphous blob of roiling flesh described as The Shapeless One can imitate any life form it encounters, given time. It might look just like one of those other beasties, right up until it's too late. Worse, it can dominate the flesh of another creature to create extensions of itself, with the creature's kin none the wiser. Smart as a humanoid and clever enough to lure adventurers away from safety to where it can absorb them in secret, The Shapeless One is a master of deceit and instilling paranoia. If this one ever escapes the dungeon, it might be the end of everything. Instinct: to assimiliate

    • absorb an organism
    • imitate a creature
    • prey on ignorance
