This article is about the Shape-shifter Animal; for the Squig variety, see Squig. |
A Mimic is an animal that is native to the planet of Yamnan.[1]
They resemble small ape-like creatures and are very inquisitive, friendly and intelligent. To survive, this creature has evolved a unique mechanism - the ability to shape-change to resemble any other creature of comparable size and bulk. So a mimic can shape-change to Ork, human, or other man-sized xenos but must always be smaller than original. Mimics can resemble weapons, tools and clothing and even mimic a creature's behaviour, sometimes "using" weapons and tools. Mimics stop their shape-changing when the creature(s) they're copying go away, returning to their initial form afterwards.[1]
