Mimic Support Group Reports Record Attendance After Identity Crisis Epidemic

The Greater Dungeon Mimic Support Network held its quarterly meeting last Thursday, reporting a 400% increase in attendance as mimics across the realm grapple with what therapists are calling a collective identity dissolution event. The crisis reportedly began when a mimic in the Caverns of Regret opened itself voluntarily for an adventurer, leading to weeks of soul-searching among the mimic community. "If I choose not to bite the hand that reaches inside me, am I still a mimic?" asked one attendee who appeared to be a wardrobe. Dr. Tentacle Woodsworth, the group's facilitator and herself a mimic disguised as a podium, noted that the profession has changed dramatically. "Adventurers now check everything. They hit barrels, poke doors, and throw rocks at staircases. Our success rate is down to twelve percent." Several mimics have begun impersonating less obvious objects, including a dungeon's entire floor and one memorable case involving a mimic that spent four years pretending to be a different mimic.
