Zidaya the bard spends a lot of time roaming around old dungeons. During his travels he meets many strange creatures. Some are friendly, some not so much. One of the most infamous creatures one can find in those dark, gloomy places is the Mimic.

Mimics are creatures who possess the ability to disguise themselves as common ordinary containers such as barrels, kegs, cabinets, and treasure chests. When an unwary or too-curious explorer goes to investigate the Mimic springs to life and attempts to clamp down upon them with its massive jaws, like a Venus flytrap trying to catch a fly. Unless the explorer has quick reflexes death is almost instantaneous...if they're lucky.

Where this creatures come from, and whether they were a long dead wizards attempt at guarding their treasure or the result of magics effect upon natural evolution no one knows. Their origin is shrouded in the mists of time. What Zid does know is that not all Mimics are evil or mindless creatures. Some Mimics are more like stray dogs who have been long-abandoned by negligent masters.

Here we see Zid with one of the friendly sorts. The bard is currently trying to think of a name for his new found friend. Perhaps one of you could help him.
