Homebrew Awakened Mimic Species Details

You aren't like other mimics. For one reason or another, you have sentience. Perhaps some powerful mage crafted you that way. Perhaps a travelling group of adventurers decided to cast Awaken on you for their amusement. Perhaps you simply woke up one day and don't know why. Whatever the reason, you've left behind the life of a dungeon predator in order to become an adventurer.

Awakened Mimic Traits

Just because your awakened doesn't mean you lose mimic traits

Ability Score increase

Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

Age

Mimics typically take about 5 years to fully mature, and generally live less than a century.

Alignment

Most mimics, being mindless, do not have an alignment. Thanks to your awakening, you are free to choose whichever alignment you wish.

Size

Mimics can take a variety of sizes. Your default size is Medium, though you can become either Medium or Small depending on your current form.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Adapted to living in darkdungeons, you have better vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Shapechanger

You can use your action to polymorph into an object or back into your true form. Your statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying is absorbed into your new form however you do not gain any benefit from them. You revert to your true form if you die. Your true form is no longer amorphous and takes on a new almost humanoid form with a gaping toothy maw and long tongue. In this form you can equip, use and benefit from equipped or carried items.

False Appearance (Object Form Only).

While you remains motionless, you are indistinguishable from an ordinary object.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

You adhere to anything that touches you. A Huge or smaller creature adhered to you is also grappled by you. Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Bite

You can use your large tooth-filled maw to make a bite attack dealing 1d8 + your Strength modifier piercing damage.
