      My friend had a session where he used a Hammer he got from a creepy old woman in a cave, later on when fighting a Giant of rock and when he got to the head he pulled it out rolled a Nat 1 and turns out it was a mimic which used its tongue to rap him up and another Nat 1 and the giant crushed him. My friend made such a face at our dm, then he just laid on the floor an cried. It was too funny 🤣🤣🤣

    My d&d mimic story (trauma)
    Our adventure party was tasked to investigate a potentially cursed home.
    We got to the location and cast detect magic but are arcana roles weren't the best The only thing that we could tell was that everything was covered in magic.
    We proceeded to open the front door, The door was a mimic. What ensued after became a game of finding the mimics. The table was a mimic. The bookcase was a mimic, the chest strangely enough it was not a mimic. We eventually resorted to using reach weapons and ranged weapons to stab and attack everything to find what was and was not a mimic. After that paranoid filled adventure as we leave the house, The DM says roll initiative and the house stands up.

    I love mimics lol. One time I was DMing a campaign and I put a chest in the middle of the room on a raised platform. They spent like 15 minutes arguing about the chest being a mimic. Finally they planned out a whole complicated strategy to jump the mimic when it tries to attack the parties rogue since they were only lvl 1. The thing is, the chest wasn't the mimic and after the rogue looted the chest safely, they all let there guard down and got butchered. Because the chest wasn't a mimic. The raised platform, on the other hand, was a giant mimic. They NEVER let me DM our group again lols.

    in the manga Delicious Dungeon there's a whole species of insects that mimic jewelry.
    "Treasure Insects appear to swarm and bite to defeat their enemies.
    Their bites appear to cause paralysis
    They prey on mimics, crawling into whatever chest the mimic is currently occupying to lay their eggs. When the larvae emerge, they devour the mimic. Then, when a hapless adventurer comes along to open the chest, they will take the treasure insects, believing it to be treasure, and the insects will spread to a new place."

Later they came back and all the towns were destroyed as the mimics slowly took over and propagated. Has always stuck with me as the mimics posed no threat to the party, but the party later doomed a world they were trying to save.

      Druid in my campaign picked up a dagger, not knowing it was a mimic. When she hadn't stabbed anything in a while, she "rolled onto it in her sleep and cut herself." Then it got bigger (scimitar). Finally, she just snapped at her sword one day, and the session ended with it replying.
      Fast forward, they get along well. It's now a shield that turns into armor when she wild shapes (was most recently a vest on a cat)

    The good news is that you would know if you touched a Mimic, as the texture is wrong and they are coated in a liquid.
    The bad news is that said liquid is hella sticky. So when you touch it, you are already grabbed.

    On the topic of mimics, have a loot idea
    A room with two pedestals, both have a weapon identical atop them, both weapons give off sentience, they may pick but one, and doing a check upon either removes their chance to choose either
    With the players knowing that, you decide one as a magic item, the other a mimic, neither will respond once picked up, both will wait until most appropriate, because a single mimic can't beat a party... but maybe one member in their sleep isn't so hard... who knows, might give it enough power to disguise itself as that person
    It's a simple concept that you can easily tweak to whatever you want and whatever rules you run by to give the players a weighty choice that they have to put their trust in fate with, but it's a rare occasion where fate isn't a dice

This was around 3 years ago, so I have forgotten MANY details. We found a strange teddy bear in this dungeon and it feels out of place to us in this moment. We try brainstorming why this teddy bear was here in the first place. We were going through our ideas from our limited knowledge of D&D at the time. We couldn’t think of much, but one of the other players came up with the idea that it could be a mimic. I didn’t even know what a mimic was at the time, so he had to explain his thought process so I could understand. We had concluded that it was A) a mimic, B) some obscure monster or item, or C) we were just paranoid and overthinking everything. We were thinking A, but it should be possible to guess what the real answer was.

After they got most of the cultists basement they split up to explore two corridors near each other. While one group encountered a few ghouls the other found a door and then heard the combat noise through it.
    So the cleric took initiative and grabs the door knob, but can't tirn it. Or release his hand. As a row of teeth appear in the wood and a tongue latches onto him. And then he remembered.. this was the only door in they encountered in the entire basement.

  • @BunjiKugashira42
    @BunjiKugashira42 2 роки тому +4

    Honestly Mimics aren't as difficult to detect as often imagined. First of all a mimic's transformation isn't magical. It's more like an octopus that changes the color and texture of its skin combined with the ability to change the general shape of its body. So the limitations are 1. It can't be any other size but medium and 2. It can only be made of wood, stone, or other simple materials.
    So a chest would work and so would a closed door. Once the door is open however, you'd notice it is a lot thicker than a normal door. The organs have to be somewhere after all. A beany bag would make a great mimic, a skinny wooden chair wouldn't. A statue could be a mimic, an empty suit of armor couldn't, unless it had a bump somewhere or was especially thick for storing the mimic's organs. A pile of gold could be a mimic, a single coin couldn't due to its size. You get the idea.
    If you still want to make smaller or thinner things into mimics, you can usually make the mimic burrow most of its body in the floor, wall or even ceiling. I feel like many people forget what a mimic even is and slap the label on random objects. And while some DMs might find it fun if their party starts poking every mundane item they come across, just to make sure it isn't a mimic, I can't imagine the fun lasting that long.
    Im my opinion a mimic is best used in conjunction with some kind of hint. Why is there a door when none of the other rooms have doors? Why is there a treasure chest in this totally unsecured room? Even the more intelligent mimics are barely intelligent enough to learn a language. They don't hatch great plans, they mostly follow their instincts.
    Want to hear a great idea for a mimic? All potential food in a dungeon has to pass the entrance at some point. That first flight of stairs with the weirdly low ceiling? Totally a mimic sitting on top of the actual stairs!

    A dungeon with mimics is like a dungeon full of illusions. A slow slog as literally everything is tested relentlessly before being approached because the door tried to eat your cleric.

    Around 20 years ago I ran a second edition campaign where everyone played high level evil characters. During one adventure they met a mimic who was guarding an item they needed. Instead of fighting it, they offered to trade it food for the item. After that they offered it a steady supply of food if it came and lived in their keep to help protect it. In 2e when a mimic ate enough food it'd split and there would be two of them. They fed it so much that it kept splitting. They had a couple dozen or so scattered around to guard important areas (and told they could eat trespassers, but not the party or the staff). They still kept feeding the mimic so much they started releasing them into the woods around the keep with the deal they could eat anyone (except the party) in the woods, but had to leave the one road through the woods alone. There ended up being over 100 mimics in the forest surrounding their fortress.

    I had a DM that ran a campaign with a hombrewed monster that when it leached onto a character it would basically devour their presence making it the point where people wouldn't notice you even if you were in front of their face. The frightening thing was that it's ability also effected other characters memories that involved you to the point where if it was stuck to you long enough people wouldn't even remember who you are.

    That cat could still have been a mimic.
    Stuffed toys are inanimate objects, so a mimic assuming the form of a stuffed cat could skulk about in the shadows, tricking the players into thinking that they're looking at a simple cat.
    That is until they come in for a closer look. 😈

    fun fact: the mimics adventuring parties encounter is actually a subspecies called a Killer Mimic, Common mimics can disguise as anything it eats as well as inanimate objects, has the ability to reason or bargain and use spells! mimics can be even more terrifying for players now!

    My party had probably the most chill run-in with a mimic in our campaign lmao
    One member bought a small chest-like orb from a shopkeeper in the first session, near the end of session 2 we remembered it existed and brought it out, only to find out it was a mimic.
    My character who is a giant raven proceeded to coo to the mimic in beast speech while the wizard ran to the library in search for a "Find Familiar" scroll.
    Fast forward to now where Ravi (my character) babysits Micah the Mimic 24/7, and our wizard was able to cast a ritual, so we now have Micah as a familiar :D
    Funniest thing is that we both pretty much took over ownership from the person who bought Micah, and they've nearly had their hands eaten multiple times from us egging on Micah lmao

    In my game, I gave a player a domesticated Mimic that looks like a snake and started as a bow. Now as long as he feeds it, it can turn into an armband or any coiled object for sneaking as well.

    They can be terrifying. Me and my group met a cart mimic once, luckily we were playing it smart and nobody died. Worst part is, it was the cart that a merchant was using, he gave us a quest to grab something for him. I’m just glad he paid us in advance, he was dead when we got back.

    I made a bunch of custom mimics with unique abilities based on what they were, such as a freezer mimic having frost breath, or a bonfire mimic being able to cast Mordekin's minute meteors.

    A Sentence I hear very often is, that the first Mimic is the most important.
    Your players will start to get paranoid and think twice, before interacting with an Object again.
    That’s why you should use them very rarely and only if the Players start to feel safe again.
    Also, try playing a Mimic a bit like the Creature from the Movie the Thing.
    Let it find ways to disappear and leave Combat, so it can try to ambush the Players again and again.
    Be creative with it’s Forms and where it’s placed.
    If you do it right, you can create an fun and exciting Atmosphere.

    When I first played Dnd, my first death was to a mimic. Ever since then, I have a trauma whenever there is either a convenient place where a mimic would be blending in or whenever a mimic decides to attack me.

    In my game/world In a city there is a mimic colony as a library. It's tamed by the librarian and all the books, tables, chairs, walls, windows, etc are mimics.

    I got my players with this nice little roadside campsite. Often used, given all the footprints and the many old fires in the pit. Very cozy, kinda tucked in some tree cover. But the three logs sitting around the fire? Turns out those are new... and hungry
