Mimic

Mimics are Sentient units which are first encountered in The Sacrifice quest and can later be found on the Murex which occasionally appears in Veil Proxima. They take the form of normal environmental objects to catch enemies off guard.
==Damage Adaptation==
==Behavior==
*Mimics disguise themselves as environmental objects such as Storage Containers, resources, consoles, Ayatan Sculptures, etc. staying still until a player approaches, where they will reveal themselves to attack. When their health drops low enough they will attempt to flee and hide in order to reactivate their disguise. 
**Helios equipped with its precept can scan Mimics even while disguised, as long as the player's codex entry for Mimics is not complete. This can alert the player to a nearby Mimic's location if the player failed to spot them.
**Their disguises can be distinguished from the real ones due to their slight imperfections, noticeable as a constant slight blur or flicker to the object. Additionally, they may disguise themselves as objects that look out of place in the surrounding area, such as an Orokin Death Orb beside a console.
**When they retreat and turn back into an object, they will gain some of their health back.
**If they are disguised as a resource node or storage container, they will be displayed on the map as a lootable container and will then be displayed as an enemy on the map when they transform if mods such as are equipped.
**Mimics can still be damaged and staggered when in their disguise, the latter of which will cause their appearance to glitch as they transform, though otherwise they still behave as usual. 
*Mimics will fire two laser beams from their arms at a random direction. They can also fire homing missiles.
==Strategy==
*Unlike Conculysts, they keep their distance, and do not possess explosive projectiles like Battalysts, nor they can defend themselves with shields like Symbilysts. Taking cover is enough. However, their habit of retreating, disappearing, and ambushing , united with their innate Sentient adaptability can be a major nuisance when they are supported by other Sentient types.
==Trivia==
*As suggested in the event of Jovian Concord, Mimics can impersonate a person.
**Alad V was tricked to enter into a contract by a Mimic impersonating Regus, Alad's old acquaintance.
*Excluding Railjack fighters, and one-of-a-kind Sentients such as Hunhow or Erra, Mimics are the only Sentient fighters whose name doesn't end with the "lyst" suffix.
