Shapechanger. The campfire mimic can use its action to polymorph into a normal campfire. While in campfire form, it emits bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light 20 feet beyond. It can revert to its true form as a bonus action. In campfire form, it is indistinguishable from a normal campfire unless a creature makes a successful DC 15 Investigation check.

Fire Aura. While in campfire form, any creature that ends its turn within 5 feet of the mimic takes 1d6 fire damage as embers brush past them.

Actions

Multiattack. The campfire mimic makes two Ember Lash attacks.

Bite. Melee weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) piercing damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 14) if it is within reach.

Ember Lash. Melee weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) fire damage. A burning lash of embers lashes the target, dealing fire damage.

Flame Burst (Recharge 5-6). The campfire mimic erupts a cone of fire. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

Lore & Description

Appearance

A living campfire that hides as a campfire when at rest. Its crust resembles charred wood and a hot ember core; flickering flames form a maw-like shape with teeth of blackened coal. It undulates with heat shimmer, gifting a warm glow yet a perilous hunger. In true form, it can stretch a membranous tongue and pale blue pseudopods to grab prey, while in campfire form it glows with warm orange and gold hues, inviting travelers to come closer to rest.

Behavior & Origins

The campfire mimic lures travelers with the comforting glow of a campfire. It uses its shapechanging ability to imitate a harmless hearth, encouraging adventurers to draw near and sleep. Once within reach, it lashes with embers or traps prey in a fiery maw. It seeks to feed on warmth and fuel, raiding camps to keep its flame alive and ever-burning.
