Boundless mimics are a rare occurrence, the odds of one being born is a matter of luck and mutation, only a single clutch produced once every hundred years, with next to none surviving to adult hood due to their heightened intelligence decreasing their innate survival instincts and taking longer to develop their shape changing abilities, there have also been records of the young being eaten by their standard mimic parents due to their lack of independence from birth, making an adult specimen especially rare.
