Let’s face it, old dolls are pretty creepy. They are also something often found in abandoned, loot-filled houses. These mimics realize that and have specialized their appearance to match this niche. However, something unexpected happened. Now and again, these horrors are scooped up by precious children who treat them as a precious toy, babying and talking to them constantly. This constant stimulus added just enough of a spark of intelligence to the aberrations that they learned to speak the common tongue, though often at the level of a human child. While this is a boon to be sure, even more pleasantly, their caretakers often set up tea parties for them! What mimic does like being fed with little effort? Sure. Small pets and neighborhood bullies might go missing, but that’s a small price to pay for companionship.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

Eyes Everywhere.

The porcelain mimic can use its bonus action to remove one of its eyes and place it anywhere within 5ft. For the next 24hours, the mimic can observe the area around the eye as if it was looking from that spot as long as it is within 1 mile of the location. After this time, the eye shrivels into a hunk of withered meat. The mimic can wither an eye as a bonus action.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d6 + 5) piercing damage plus 13 (3d8) acid damage.

Let Me In.

The porcelain mimic touches an object. The object can be a door, a box, a chest, a set of manacles, a padlock, or another object that contains a mundane or magical means that prevents access.

A target that is held shut by a mundane lock or that is stuck or barred becomes unlocked, unstuck, or unbarred. If the object has multiple locks, only one of them is unlocked. If the target is held shut with arcane lock, that spell is suppressed for 10 minutes, during which time the target can be opened and shut normally.

This ability produces a soft, echoing giggle that can he heard up to 60ft away.
