Homebrew Divergent Mimic Species Details

Divergent Mimics usually start out the same way as standard Mimics: wild monsters whose sole focus is feeding on meat. Over the span of hundreds of years however, Mimics that are to survive that long develop a higher sense of Wisdom and come to realize there is more to life than the hunt for food.

Divergent Mimics retain the shapeshifting ability of their standard kin, as well as their natural adhesive nature and high level of stealth.

Additionally, Divergent Mimics have gained the ability to communicate, speak and reason in the same way as any other intelligent race.

Divergent Mimic Traits

You have the following racial traits:

Speed

Your walking speed is 15ft in your True or Object form, or 30ft in your Humanoid form.

Shapechanger

The Divergent Mimic can use its Action to Polymorph into an Object, a Humanoid 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 Divergent Mimic may choose to adhere 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 Divergent Miimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object.

Grappler

The Divergent Mimic has advantage on Attack rolls against any creature Grappled by it.
