Mimic
Translucent predator that absorbed characteristics from countless meals. Its shifting form pulses with stolen biology while acidic secretions dissolve anything foolish enough to get close.

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.

Codex entry
- Entry 1
Tissue samples contain genetic material from at least eleven distinct species, none integrated into a stable genome. The acidic mucous layer maintains a pH below 1.2 indefinitely without degrading the host membrane. The mechanism preventing autolysis remains unidentified.
- Entry 2
Settlers near old gas stations check the shadows under abandoned cars before parking next to them. Children are taught to throw a rock first, then wait. If the rock makes a wet sound, the spot is bad.
- Entry 3
Techno-shaman oral tradition holds that a mimic remembers everything it eats. An old recording, found on a cassette in a roadside cooler, captures one whispering softly the same six-digit number for nineteen minutes.
