Posted May 12, 2025This art is a situation that I'd not want to be in. Mimics everywhere? I cast fireball at 9th level centered on myself.
Movement speed increased from 15ft to 20ft, which is nice.
Shapechanger trait was reworked into a Bonus Action, but it lost the False Appearance trait.
Pseudopod used to not have a size restriction on its grappling effect, but now it does. It's a little redundant to state the Adhesive trait's description again in this attack, but I can see why they did. Bite now deals additional damage to grappled creatures, a whole damage die's worth, and the Grappler trait is now reworked into the Bite itself.
Mimics are a classic monster, and yet I've only used them sparingly. After observation, the only thing that this Mimic gained was 5ft movement speed: everything else is moved around and reworded. As such, there will be no Mimic fusion.

Posted May 23, 2025I like to think that mimics aren't regular creatures per se, but more akin to tsukamogami from Japanese folklore (an item that becomes inhabited by a spirit or develops a spirit). In this interpretation, mimics are created by greed and hoarding. Perhaps when a miser dies with chests full of unspent wealth their spirit inhabits the chest and devours the treasure within, then lies in wait trying to kill anyone attempting to steal from it.
