My sister and I were diving deep into the lore and rules for mimics and the most terrifying thing they could be, is either an entire planet or a humanoid. They might even be able to be a planet-sized humanoid. Or even a human-sized planetoid 😱
For your viewing pleasure
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.
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.

Get in line, mimic.
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.
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.
The Flee, Mortals! book has a mimic companion stat block. It can cover you and act as active camouflage.
Thrown weapon mimic, like a javelin. Enemy picks it up to throw back and bam, surprise bite!!!
Not my menstrual cup!
I've always been a fan of mimics being ladders or bridges.
This is similar to the premise of Prey.
[This post is not a mimic]
That seems like something a mimic would say.
And then we have Starfinder where a mimic can disguise itself as an entire planet!
The player handbook isn’t a problem, no one reads that thing.
It's a good way to get rid of your rules lawyer. Everyone hates that guy anyway.
Can't remember if it was ds2 or ds3 but one of em had bonfire mimics concept arts.
Would be neat if you only realized when the heat coming off them wouldn't match the size of fire. either be to great or too little.
that or no smoke.
What about the party being mimics but don't tell them that.
Tell every party member that they are a mimic and need to keep it a secret from the rest of the party.
I wanna share this in the group chat, but I don't wanna give the GM any ideas xD
outhouse oof.
It's always more fun when mimics team up. A couple of goblins bother the party at night, just enough to give them chase, then when they return, hop into their sleeping bag and boom, mimic.
The PHB mimic is starving
Anal prayer beads because monks is kinky.
A shirt or your gear.
