Homebrew Half-Mimic Species Details

Physical Description

Aside from the shine of their somewhat-slimy skin, half-mimics are built near-identically to humans. Most half-mimics settle on a default humanoid form soon after birth, and they usually stand at the height of a fully-grown human, 5 feet to a tad over 6 feet tall. However, their weight is much, much smaller, often at an average of 80 pounds due to their mimic parents being amorphous and liquid-like.

Shapechanger

Once per short rest, a half-mimic can use their action to polymorph into an object or back into their true form. Their statistics are the same in each form. However, when a half-mimic turns into an object, the object's color scheme is always that of the half-mimic's true form.Any equipment they are wearing or carrying isn't transformed. A half-mimic reverts to their true form if they die.
