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.
False Appearance (Object Form Only). While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.
Visceral Projections. As an action, the mimic shifts pigments below the pseudo-crystal shell of its gelatinous body and projects images as it casts one of the following spells without requiring material components: Augury, Identify, or Detect Thoughts (save DC 13). The choice of spell reflects the mimic's attempt to show or tell onlookers what they desire, using its insights to either guide, reveal, or probe deeper into the thoughts of its audience.
Description
Crystal Ball Mimic's intelligence is a curious anomaly within the mimic family. Scholars theorize that the original Crystal Ball Mimics may have briefly been domesticated by mages and used as magical sentinels or pets, trained to protect valuable or obduscate secrets. Its possible that over time, these creatures absorbed and learned from the spells, incantations, and vast knowledge swirling around them.
Unlike its larger, more traditional kin, this mimic possesses the unique ability to communicate, almost reflexively telling or showing individuals exactly what they desire to hear or see. These tiny mimics prey primarily on small insects. At least in the traditional sense, they are not particularly dangerous. Still though, be wary of what they say or show you.
