Homebrew Half Mimic Species Details
They walk among us, not quite changelings or shapeshifters, but find themselves uncomfortable in their own bodies. The life of the Half Mimic is a complicated existence, with the very narrow origins of a 'seeding' mimic and a female humanoid. The circumstances in which this union can happen rely on the bizarre and offbeat, with the few that exist at point in time often finding themselves at the outskirts of society. They maintain the racial appearances of their mother, but their monstrous origins linger in sharp teeth and a long tongue that easily separate them as different from their kind. When their mouths are closed, they can often be forgettable as many of the more distinct markers of a race are lost leaving behind a drab appearance that often drive them to change. The average existence of a Half Mimic is a mystery as so few records exist, but one can draw parallels in the existence of other outsider groups like the changeling or the half-orc to assume what their life is like. What is known that while they do maintain the full range of loyalties and independence of other races, their monstrous half is always a threat to emerge in violent or chaotic behaviors that make the life of a Half Mimic a volatile one.

Inanimate Mimicry
As an action, a Half Mimic may physically transform into one inanimate object that is equal to the size of the creature or down to one half of its size. The weight of the object can weight between one fourth or the equivalent of your person, including anything being worn or carried. All items you are wearing or carrying transform with the transformation. The transformation has a duration of ten minutes, or until you use a Bonus Action to transform back. While the Half mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary object. While transformed, you have a walking speed of 15ft. A Half Mimic may maintain concentration on a spell while in this form, but casting spells or making an attack immediately ends the transformation. You may transform twice with this ability and regain all transformation with this trait after a Long Rest.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write the languages of Common and one extra language of your choosing. This is most often the language of the mother, or Undercommon which many known Half Mimic's have a knack for understanding due to the origins.
