        This one caused me so much trouble! I went into it thinking “this will be easy” but it’s surprisingly hard to get right.

        I don’t think I 100% got it, her body proportions are too human (Konsi is 4ft tall) - but it was a lot of fun to try. Daily drawing challenges aren’t about being perfect, they’re about just getting the thing done and learning from it.

      What do you mean

      1. Meme Pose

      Is this #9 of things mimics can turn into‽

        This was part of my october drawing prompts, the prompt was “meme pose”

        Artist circles on Twitter (although now it’s blue sky) have a bunch of “meme” drawing challenges. Most commonly “outfit” challenges where you have to draw your character wearing a specific outfit. These challenges are like artist “memes”, seeing other people do them causes them to spread. Pose memes are less common, but there are a few.

        This pose is the “cammy stretch” meme pose: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cammy-stretch

          I did recognise Cammy’s stretch pose, I was just commenting on the fact it was labelled similarly to the mimic poses in the post ^_^

          But thanks for the explanation, though!

    Play Shattered Pixel Dungeon. You can get special mimics that can disguise as literally everything. A door, strength potion, the way to the next level, basically anything that looks useful. And of course they only appear as soon as you’ve forgotten to check for them.

        I like to think mimics cant replicate text. If not I’m gonna need a fancy mimic lens or start tapping my stuff with a wrench before I touch it.

    Teleportation mimic will teleport you. To its stomach.

    Breastplate mimic just wants to sink its mouth on your breasts.

    Saddle mimic wants to lick your lowers parts.

    No comment on outhouse mimic. We don’t talk about it.

    I’ve always been a fan of mimics being ladders or bridges.

    Cover your phb in spray adhesive and leave it sitting on the table. As soon as someone touches it, shout “ROLL INITIATIVE!”

    Actually, apply this to other random objects at the game table. A bag of chips, 1 can of soda in the fridge, every 3rd pencil, whatever.

    Mimic city; every building is a mimic, but they’re smart enough to eat the local population when they’re alone or in small groups. Every time people keep going missing, and the players will assume it must be some random wandering monster; they’d never think it’s literally the buildings and each room can start eating really fast. There’d be no pattern either, every building is alive and people go missing literally everywhere. Perhaps a clue can be a house that has no more people living in it and it starts to starve to death and starts freaking out, even endangering the other mimics’ secret.

    I’ve often thought it’d be fun to let a party have a tame mimic as a pet. Not helpful in battle unfortunately, unless one of your opponents decides to take a looting break.

      My party do have a pet mimic. He’s called Philip and is mostly there for comic relief although he has been known to help with puzzles and things occasionally

      Thrown weapon mimic, like a javelin. Enemy picks it up to throw back and bam, surprise bite!!!

      The Flee, Mortals! book has a mimic companion stat block. It can cover you and act as active camouflage.

    And then we have Starfinder where a mimic can disguise itself as an entire planet!

    I never got to run this, but I remember after playing Prey putting together a dungeon themed off of mimics and getting really nasty with them. I imagined that after a couple rooms the players would adopt a policy of preemtively fireballing every new room before entering it.

    Abomination Vaults has a mimic encounter where one is pretending to be a door and the other is pretending to be a weapon rack with a nice axe on it. Gets them either way.

    You might also want to look into Rotgrind’s Mimouthouse. It’s exactly what it sounds like.
