Description
When a mimic reaches the end of it's life it will seek take the appearance of a common container they will pass away in a location they are likely to be found. Their harder outer shell will fuse to be indistinguishable from a normal objects. Inside's shell the mimic's body will be broken down to produce a clutch of eggs taking the form of a collection of valuable objects (Such as a bag of coins or gems).
These eggs are in a dormant state but are aware of their surroundings, once found they will allow themselves to be carried and distributed through society, watchful for potential forms to take. After a time they will hatch into spiderlike beings, spreading out further and consuming biomass until they are fully mature.
