There was once a gambler who was tossed out one too many times by a particular innkeeper and decided to get revenge. How said gambler got this particular mimic runt and taught it take the shape of a bottle? They're not telling. However, it sprang the perfect trap on that damn innkeeper and several of the barflies who tried to help. The gambler also won't divulge how he taught the mimic to fire endless corks with the force of halfling sling stones or why so many of the bottles around town became these monstrosities within a year.

Shapechanger.

The mimic can use its action to polymorph into a liquor bootle or back into its true, amorphous form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Adhesive (Object Form Only).

The mimic adheres to anything that touches it. A Medium or smaller creature adhered to the mimic is also grappled by it (escape DC 13). Ability checks made to escape this grapple have disadvantage.

Booze Hound.

The mimic cannot become intoxicated.

False Appearance (Object Form Only)

While the mimic remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary liquor bottle.

Grappler.

The mimic has advantage on attack rolls against any creature grappled by it.
