Mimic Family -- Shapeshifter Type
Habitat: Towers and caves, anywhere chests can be found
Disposition: Cheerful, pushy
Diet: Spirit energy of human men
A variety of shapeshifter that takes the form of a treasure chest. They lurk in places with lots of other chests and wait for a victim to show up. Mimics have an uncanny ability to plant themselves in just those areas where a human will soon stumble across them. It is not known how they are able to make such predictions. Mimics usually prefer towers, caves, and dungeons but have been found in castles and even private homes.
Though they are not demons, mimics share the succubi’s ability to feed on the spirit energy of men they have sex with. When a suitable target passes by, a mimic will burst out of her chest and unleash paralysis or charm spells to subdue her victim. She will then have sex with him and absorb his spirit energy. If she decides she likes her new mate enough to keep him, she will pull him into the chest and vanish. If the chest is reopened, it will be empty. It is believed the mimic brings her now-drained mate into an alternate dimension, where she can continue to have her way with him undisturbed. This has not been confirmed.
A mimic’s weakness is her keyhole. If a key is thrust into the opening before the mimic jumps out, she will be ejected from her own chest. Once separated from it, she can no longer use magic and can be captured easily.
