Pickled Punk

A grotesque "preserved" homunculus floating in a jar of murky fluid, the pickled punk is a carnival curiosity given malign animation — its sealed body leaking fumes that sicken anyone who lingers near it.

• Combustible The first time each round that a pickled punk takes fire damage, its fumes combust, dealing 5 fire damage to all other creatures within the area of its Suffocating Fumes aura.
• Suffocating Fumes (aura, inhaled, poison) 5 feet. A creature that enters or begins its turn within the aura must attempt a DC 14 Fortitude save, or DC 17 if the pickled punk is attached to the creature. On a failed save, the creature is sickened 1, and on a critical failure, it's also enfeebled 1 for 1 minute.
• Its fist Strike (Agile, Finesse, Nonlethal) deals 1d4+1 bludgeoning plus attach, latching the punk onto its victim.
