description: 'Thought to be the result of a failed experiment meant to animate objects
  or a sinister alghollthu creation, mimics are clever monsters that can take the
  form of common manufactured objects. Mimics are ambush predators and voracious eaters,
  surprising their prey through their uncanny ability to mimic the form of common
  furniture and miscellany. They remain disguised until unsuspecting adventurers happen
  by, then they lash out in ambush.




  Mimics possess complex alien minds, and while often cruel and self-serving, they
  also enjoy conversation with their prey from time to time. For unknown reasons,
  they are especially interested in humanoids. Mimics have a strong dislike for others
  of their kind and tend to live alone. A mimic can remain in its alternate form for
  an extremely long period of time, sometimes remaining disguised in a dungeon chamber
  for decades. Regardless of how long it waits, the mimic remains vigilant and alert,
  ready to strike at any moment.
