Shapechanger. The mimic can use its action to true polymorph into a small 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. However, these mimics can only copy an object that they have consumed and when they are in object form they also copy the exact same properties the object had.
Adhesive (Amorphous 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.
Close Approximation (Object Form Only). While the mimic remains motionless, it is almost indistinguishable from an ordinary object. A closer inspection (Perception check DC15) would show that something if off about the item.
Loyal Companion. These kinds of mimics will follow the intent of their master, so long as their master retains the admiration and bond of the mimic.
(Any actions the object it is copying would have)
Description
This breed of mimic was made in a magical lab wherein the wizard running it was attempting to graft the abilities of a mimic to other objects and creatures in order to use it's abilities to some unknown means. The end result, however, was a series of mimics that are able to be tamed and can form very tight-knit bonds with other creatures. They tend to seek out rewards and act more like pets than an ordinary monster. Because of this they strive to meet a niche need that the creature has, whether it be becoming a backpack or maybe a weapon of some kind. As long as these mimics have eaten it, they can become an object and take on their properties.
