The Beast Fears Fire - Mimics

Mimic [Want 2]
Impulse - Let's be Honest, to give the Middle Finger to Players Mimics are the other extremely successful ambush predator you can find in the Underworld, and find them you will. You won't find them often or in groups - mimics are extremely territorial, but you can be certain that there is no patch of the Black Mansions that is not claimed by one. Mimics are especially well suited for catching goblins, and some people think that this might be their purpose or the course of their evolution. It's kind of hard to tell. They do seem well suited to profiting on goblin curiosity.

When a mimic is laying in wait, it resembles a perfectly normal, reasonably large piece of furniture, or other similar sized object. The classical mimic has the dormant form of a chest or trunk, but barrels, tables, beds, carts, bookshelves, armoires... just about anything that appears manufactured and is large enough to hold a goblin (or similar sized meal) works. Mimics will set themselves up somewhere that they do not look out of place and wait until something chooses to interact with them. At that point, the mimic unfolds it's long legs and spindly body opens up it's great, toothy mouth and unfurls its arms, which are more like pedipalps, since the join the body alongside or even inside the mouth. When revealed, a mimic stands 3 meters tall, with arms that reach from the head to the ground.

Harm 3 Mimics stuff anything that interacts with them into their mouth and start chewing. They are extremely strong and, when feeding, aggressive. Anything active that is not in a mimic's mouth will get slashed up or pummeled by the the creature's taloned hands, and anything that a mimic subdues gets scooped into its mouth along with the initial meal.

Perfectly Ordinary, Perfectly Safe
When you are searching through the hunting grounds of a mimic, face Want
On a Hit, you get the benefits of a Hit for a normal Move against Want. You don't find any mimics.
On a Hard Hit, you find what you want and also, you know where the mimic is and what it looks like.
On a Miss, you opened up the wrong thing, take Harm as stated as the mimic chews on you.

For your sake, touch me not
Unlike most of its category mates, a mimic is sunlight tolerant, though they do not tend to travel very far from their Underworld entrance, when the come to the surface, as a chest in the middle of a forest is awfully suspicious. Mimics show signs of sapience, though they are not usually interested in communication, and they are emphatically not social with one another. Some mimics have learned to mimic sound and voices and become very good ventriloquists. They seem to understand speech and language well enough to prank creatures nearby, and also like to, occasionally, pretend that there is someone locked inside of them, struggling and calling out for help.

Mimics can change their dormant form, but this takes months, and is exhausting and painful, so they tend not to do it often. Mimics that live on the surface like to take the form of outhouses. Because mimics are assholes.
