False Appearance. While the blimp remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary balloon.
Pop. The blimp explodes when it drops to 0 hit points. When it does so, it causes one of the following effects of its choice.
- Laughing Gas. Each enemy creature within 20 feet of the blimp when it explodes must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or begin laughing uncontrollably. An affected creature cannot take bonus actions or reactions and must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution ability check to take actions that involve speaking (such as when casting a spell with a verbal component). An affected creature can attempt a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect for itself on a success.
- Party Slime. Each creature within 20 feet of the blimp when it explodes must succeed on a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or be coated in a fluorescent slime. A creature that fails the save takes 7 (2d6) damage at the start of each of its turns. The type of damage is determined by the color of the blimp, as detailed below. A creature can remove slime from itself or another creature within 5 feet of it by taking an action to wipe it off. The slime can also be removed by completely immersing the affected creature in water or another similar liquid.

Description
Blimps are strange, inflated creatures that typically resemble the inflated, disembodied heads of clowns, although they can also showcase other faces. They are usually found tucked among colorful balloons. When activated, blimps expand, the skin stretching until it tears with an ear-splitting pop, releasing a splatter of poisonous ooze over everyone in close vicinity. Blimps are one of Sophie’s many gruesome creations.
