This article is about a race of fearsome shapeshifters. For other uses, see Mimic (disambiguation).
During the Shadowmoor phase of Lorwyn's cycle, the changelings become fearsome mimics. The Aurora replaces the changelings' innocence with malice and their curiosity with hunger. A mimic need only touch a being to learn its shape, but touching usually leads to mauling and messily eating.
Mimics don't need perfect disguises. They need only the perfect victims: the naive, the young, or the poor of sight. Mimics don't hide their natural form well, but their disguises work well enough on boggarts. A mimic's disguise fools its victims just long enough to draw them within range of its venomous tentacles.
