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 Medium or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 11). 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.
Voice Acting. This mimic can replicate voices it has heard and "read" aloud a story. Any creature within 60 feet must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC13) or become Charmed. Any creature charmed in this way cannot bring themselves to leave the area. They are compelled to listen until the story ends or the mimic no longer speaks.
Grappler. The mimic has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.
Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) bludgeoning damage. If the mimic is in object form, the target is subjected to its Adhesive trait.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.
Description
Book Mimics blend into libraries and bookshelves, masquerading as ordinary books. They lure prey with their ability to replicate voices and "read" stories aloud.
These mimics captivate listeners with their narrations, making it difficult for enchanted listeneers to leave their vicinity. When disturbed, such as when someone attempts to open them during their performance, they reveal their adhesive form and attack.
Book Mimics lie in wait for the curious and unwary, turning a seemingly harmless action like picking up a book into a potentially dangerous endeavor.
