Shapechanger. The mimic can use its action to polymorph into an object or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Adhesive (Object Form Only). The mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 13). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.
False Appearance (Object Form Only). While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.
Grappler. The mimic has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.
Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.

They are quite heavy the average mimic would weigh 4500 lbs and would hold a mass of between 125-150 square feet. filling a full five foot square.
Yeah, what does one look like?

An intelligent sword might be a mimic instead
Everybody poops, probably doubles as what is described as the adhesive excretion mentioned on the page.
since mimics can turn into anything that isn't a plant or animal could it just turn into a house if it's big enough? or is it not able too?
Just nabbed one as a pet, it cost me 300-ish gold and a magical weapon, can't wait to chill with this guy!
Amorphous, older edition's had it where it could only mimic wood things.
Pseudopod
I have a thought, can they take form of weapons? If so, oh boy
What I had in mind, was if you got a weapon and at hit, it bites. What would that do?
I feel like people forget that mimics can be really all round because of there attack and con and dont forget that their bite is a good attack
that sounds kinda cool but the mimic will attack anyways
I would imagine that a mimic is basically like a giant mouth, but it uses the trunks and other things as a shell, like a really weird snail.
Why Grapple Huge or Small Creatures? What about Medium size???
house mimic
OMG someone also thought of it
Spot!
