Mimic Chest

If you enjoy my work consider supporting me in Patreon

Mimics are shapeshifting predators that take the forms of inanimate objects to lure intelligent creatures to their doom. However, very rarely, a mimic will be born with higher intelligence on par with its erstwhile prey. It may even, eventually, find that the taste of sentient beings isn't to its liking, or that staying in one place and waiting for a hapless adventurer to happen by has lost its charm.

Such an unnatural specimen may then choose to leave its domain and seek out other creatures not merely for food, but for conversation and companionship.
