Bab 107: A Small Mimic Larva, Mimy!

-----

"Guuu…"

It gave out a cute little sound, and its various eyes quickly directed themselves towards me, almost fixated. I guess it was surprised to see me? I don't know if Mimics have parental care to identify someone they see after hatching as their mother/father.

"Hello little guy." I said. "Do you want to take these armor pieces as your shell?" I wondered, touching the little mimic, it didn't seem afraid, and was all slimy.

"Gugyeeeh…"

The creature began to crawl over the table, quickly noticing the armor pieces, which it saw as if they were its truest self, and jumped over them without wasting a single second. And then, something incredible happened.

FLASH!

The entire Mimic's body grew many tiny tentacles that began to grab each armor piece and coat it in the slime the creature produced, moving it over the small little body it had and suddenly constructing something… wait, that's a perfectly made helmet?! Are mimics innate crafters?
