== Description ==
A Mimic ordinarily looks like a clear slightly-gelatinous fluid. However, as will be revealed below, they can look like any nonliving object.
== Location ==
Mimics can normally be found in caves deep within the earth or in deep oceanic areas. However, based on their very nature, they tend to cling to objects and are brought all over the world.
== Modus Operandi ==
Mimics are extremely unintelligent creatures which are very similar to Venus Flytraps. They slowly cover a nonliving object over a period of about an hour, and then coat it invisibly for about a week. During this time, it is barely able to be noticed, and may look like the object is a little wet or waxy. The Mimic, over the course of the week, slowly digests the object,  shapeshifting so it takes over the appearance and texture of the object. At the end of the week, the Mimic has completely taken the place of the object, except inside it will be the slimy white organism. When someone touches the object, it leaps out and grabs the person, dissolving them and thus feeding on them. It will violently attack using its Engulf ability until it is either destroyed or the target is completely consumed. It will then go into a state of hibernation for six months or more, and then will remain in hibernation until the next time it can feed.
== Neutralization ==
Mimics can be destroyed physically, although this is difficult because they can devour weapons used against them. Cold and heat are the strongest weapons to use against them. Since they cannot act during their hibernation, they are easier to destroy during this time.
== Story Seed ==
An archaeologist excavating a tomb in South America is found half-eaten in front of a strange box he found during his travels. The box is sold to the highest bidder, an eccentric millionaire who holds lavish parties once a year. Each year, at these parties, someone always goes missing, but there is never enough evidence to convict him, and he offers a million dollars to one random guest every year, so people don’t stop coming.
