Shapechanger. The young 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 young 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 young mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.
Grappler. The young 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 (1d6 + 1) bludgeoning damage. If the young 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 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage plus 2 (1d4) acid damage.
Description
Homebrew monster entry for the "Mimic's in the Mine" Encounter of the week. They didn't provide a stat block for the Young Mimics that could be used in encounter builder so I'm making one.
These young mimics take the shape of pickaxes, hooded lanterns, chisels, hammers, shovels, and so forth. If one of the mimics is touched, the entire pile attacks that character, and any other mimics within 20 feet of the pile attack their allies.
