Metamorph
Mature mimic specimen with an unstable body plan. It samples an approaching target and reorganizes its tissue mid-encounter, mirroring the distance and damage type of what it faces. Threat assessment is unreliable by design.

The best you can use
Sign in and set up your character to see the best gear you can use.
Estimate with the game's fight rules: 2d10 plus accuracy against a defense of 6 plus armor modifiers; a critical hit (two tens or 10 over the defense) deals ×1.5; damage minus the armor for that damage type, at least 1 per hit; base health 60; a turn every 10 s. Natural defense, skill bonuses, range and terrain are left out.
