Mimics can be very scary.

Part 1:

My sister and I were diving deep into the lore and rules for mimics and the most terrifying thing they could be, is either an entire planet or a humanoid. They might even be able to be a planet-sized humanoid. Or even a human-sized planetoid 😱

Bonus Konsi?

- Definitely did not expect Konsi doing a Street Fighter 6 Cammy cosplay.

- Not a Konsi Mimic?

That's why you need post it on your stuff.

- All fun and games until the mimic pretends to be a post-it note

  I like to think mimics cant replicate text. If not I'm gonna need a fancy mimic lens or start tapping my stuff with a wrench before I touch it.

Play Shattered Pixel Dungeon. You can get special mimics that can disguise as literally everything. A door, strength potion, the way to the next level, basically anything that looks useful. And of course they only appear as soon as you've forgotten to check for them.

Teleportation mimic will teleport you. To its stomach.

Breastplate mimic just wants to sink its mouth on your breasts.

Saddle mimic wants to lick your lowers parts.

No comment on outhouse mimic. We don't talk about it.

- just wants to sink its mouth on your breasts.
  
  Get in line, mimic.

Not my menstrual cup!

I've often thought it'd be fun to let a party have a tame mimic as a pet. Not helpful in battle unfortunately, unless one of your opponents decides to take a looting break.

- My party do have a pet mimic. He's called Philip and is mostly there for comic relief although he has been known to help with puzzles and things occasionally

- The Flee, Mortals! book has a mimic companion stat block. It can cover you and act as active camouflage.

- Thrown weapon mimic, like a javelin. Enemy picks it up to throw back and bam, surprise bite!!!

Cover your phb in spray adhesive and leave it sitting on the table. As soon as someone touches it, shout "ROLL INITIATIVE!"

Actually, apply this to other random objects at the game table. A bag of chips, 1 can of soda in the fridge, every 3rd pencil, whatever.

I've always been a fan of mimics being ladders or bridges.

Spyglass: thoomp

This is similar to the premise of Prey.

- [This post is not a mimic]

  That seems like something a mimic would say.

And then we have Starfinder where a mimic can disguise itself as an entire planet!

The player handbook isn’t a problem, no one reads that thing.

- It's a good way to get rid of your rules lawyer. Everyone hates that guy anyway.

I wanna share this in the group chat, but I don't wanna give the GM any ideas xD

Can't remember if it was ds2 or ds3 but one of em had bonfire mimics concept arts.

2
- Would be neat if you only realized when the heat coming off them wouldn't match the size of fire. either be to great or too little.
  
  that or no smoke.

What about the party being mimics but don't tell them that.

3
- Tell every party member that they are a mimic and need to keep it a secret from the rest of the party.

One D&D podcast I listen to had one be a house in Sigil. After they had dealt with the plot to use it for magic or something some of the party ended up feeding it animals much to the chagrin of the rest of the party but did save some other creatures living in the area from getting eaten.

- What does it mean?

  The house mimic.

outhouse oof.

It's always more fun when mimics team up. A couple of goblins bother the party at night, just enough to give them chase, then when they return, hop into their sleeping bag and boom, mimic.

The PHB mimic is starving

Anal prayer beads because monks is kinky.
