Gongfather
monstrosity, 5
Never kills unless attacked first; instead it disarms, steals all metal objects from downed or fleeing targets, and lets them go once stripped. If actually attacked, fights to kill the attacker specifically, ignoring others.
Resonant Toll. As a bonus action, the gongfather can strike itself, forcing all creatures within 20 feet to succeed a DC 14 Constitution save or be deafened for 1 minute.
Brass Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 3d8+5 bludgeoning damage.
Strip and Take. When the gongfather reduces a creature to 0 hit points or it surrenders, it automatically removes all metal items from that creature's person as part of the same action.
Description
A hulking shape of fused brass plates and cracked bell-metal, its footfalls ring like struck gongs across the valley. It is the only one of its kind anyone has seen in a generation, and it always, without exception, takes any coin or metal object from those it defeats before letting the rest go.
Habitat
Abandoned mines, valley floors near old foundries
Size
huge
