Which of those mimics is your favourite? I personally enjoy mimics that are dumb and a little shitty at their job so they set up in incongruous places and are a little off with their mimicry. Nonsense writing, upside-down locks, not quite right angles, that sort of thing.

Can this be a legit backstory? If so, I will attempt it when we finish our campaign.

>>53296172
Only if he has amnesia and legitimately believe he is an adventurer. Perhaps used to be a chest mimic and absorbed the memories of a wizard he ate. Sort of like a Worm that Walks but not nearly as powerful

This reminds me to that one idea of the mimics being essentially shape shifting lobsters which grow forever until they are killed, with the tiny coin mimics being like the babies, with everything inbetween being another stage of it's life until it's just a giant castle/dungeon thing.

>>53295176
I kind of want to wear a sapient, or at least tamed, cloak mimic.

No no, it's a warehouse where every shelf is full of mimic chests.

The lock on the back door is real weak and easy to pick and on the outside of the warehouse the signs all read "Unopened Reclaimed Treasure Chests Holding Site B"

>>53295419
Anyone have the original images?

IN one of my games we were chased through the woods by a dire mimic posing as a nice log cabin. We just kept finding identical log cabins over and over again until eventually we figured we were cursed or trapped in a demi-plane or something, so we tried to burn the cabin down then it attacked and that's when things went bad.

I think I just hired a mimic my party ran into for my fledgling detective agency. No idea what I'm going to do with that, but I'm sure there's no way this can go wrong.

There's a friendly mimic in the Shackled City campaign path, it hangs out in the first dungeon and just wants food and people to talk to it (I think it only speaks gnomish)

>>53299566
Holy shit thats nice.

Busty bar wench's chest is a mimic.

I have a cool head-cannon about mimics about how they age and are made

>Youngling
Often a formless mass ejected from Adults that quickly finds home in clustered messes taking on basic forms such as pots, cups, paper while feeding off bugs, insects, birds
>Adolescence
A growing mimic increases in size and starts to experiment in larger objects such as chairs, tables, drawers and most popularly chests, taking on the basic shape and form but often having incorrect details, such as wrong patterns, discolored sections, and warped parts. At this stage the mimic has a average diet of medium sized mammals and creatures like dogs, cats, even humans and children orcs.
>Adult
The proper stage where the mimic perfects it shape, staying true to what its copying and have exact details. The mimic at this stage also starts to develop a Youngling which it will later eject and restart the process. The diet stays the same as the adolescence stage but will also be much more aggressive about it targets.
>Elder
Oldest stage for a mimic and often the rarest one as mimics usually are killed off during there adult stage. At this stage the mimic starts to deteriorate in quality, with its form getting grayer and grayer as the mimic will start to slow down with age and be more passive. Rarely elders will also eject younglings, but only during dire time of a low population. Once elders die of old age they simply loss form and become a pile of white goo that acts like glue.

90% of the treasure found in the dungeon is actually mimic's excrement. Who would actually leave piles of gold and magic swords in some closed room in the middle of nowhere?

By the way, Mimics feed on adventurers...

Oh man, imagine if every time a wizard did a conjuration spell to create water or food one of the items on his person became a mimic?

>>53304314
Nah there's a chance the conjured item itself becomes the mimic. It's dormant at first at first but if you forget about that conjured sandwich in your lunchbox, they'll combine into a mimic.

This is adorable. We need a drawfag to draw a reverse mimic.

We just met a whole party of mimics in the last session. There was a treasure chest fighter, barrel rogue, beautycase bard, crate factotum, and a golden statue cleric (currently shattered, looking to be Raised).

They all came from the same dungeon that was looted by adventurers, and decided to try out something similar themselves.

>>53316664
My point was a single person whose gear is composed solely of mimics, so that the armor and weapons have minds of their own, and their own limbs and appendages, thus allowing them to fight back as well as the user fighting with them. Imagine a suit of armor that will start attacking with giant pointy teeth and a whip like tongue if you attack from behind the wearer.

Does anyone have friendly/neutral mimics in their campaigns right now? I have a mimic that works as a brewery by eating various ingredients and spewing them back out as "Hard Locks Hard Brew", and an NPC that will help out the party via dungeon experience and whatnot.
