Mimicreep

The Mimicreep is a mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the From Beyond updates. When killed, it drops one Nightmare Fuel.
== Behavior == 
Mimicreeps can only spawn after Shadow Rifts are open. They will be wandering around the Ruins, but can also spawn in the darkness when items are left on the ground. Mimicreeps are lurking for equipable items left on the ground to mimic them, except containers like a Backpack or stackable items like the Brightshade Bomb. The mimicked item will have the exact same stats as the copied item and can be collected and equipped by characters. When trying to use an mimicked item or getting hit while it is equipped, the Mimicreep will reveal itself and run away, draining 10 of the character's Sanity. When not picked up or revealed, a Mimicreep will turn back to its original form after 10-12 minutes.
Mimicreeps cannot mimic items left on a Boat.
== Strategy ==
To kill a Mimicreep, a character just has to step on it.
Mimicreeps cannot be trapped with walls, as they can creep beneath them.
== Usage ==
Some mimicked items will have one use before the Mimicreep reveals itself. This can be useful for this items:
Item	Effects
 	Revives the player on usage without using the real amulet.
 	One free use to craft an item for half the price.
 	one free shot by an enemy without taking damage.
Wearable mimicked items will grant the effects of its original for up to 12 minutes or until the player gets hit. This can be interesting for following items:
Item	Effects
 	Transforms insanity auras to sanity auras.
 	Pacifying Shadow Creatures and putting the character insane.
 	Produces Mushroom Spores over time. -25% hunger drain, 20% wetness resistance, and 60 points of protection from overheating.
 	Gaining damage and speed boost.
Mimicked items cannot be used in crafting recipes. They also cannot be deconstructed, but a Deconstruction Staff will still loose durability when doing so.
== Tips ==
* Mimicked items can be preserved with Bundling Wraps to use them later. So if something useful is mimicked, the timer of the reveal of a Mimicreep can be paused in Bundled Supplies.
== Trivia ==
* The Mimicreep was introduced in the Depths of Duplicity update.
