Mimikin are a rarely-seen type of demihuman, able to shift their physical forms at will. Human-like in stature, their true forms usually have naturally pale, grey skin, unnervingly blank facial features, and silvery hair. However, because of their shapeshifting nature, they usuallly pass as humans or other similarly-sized demihumans, only returning to their true forms on death.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Many mimikin use their gifts as a form of artistic or emotional expression, but some see them as invaluable tools for grifting, spying, and general deception, leading to their distrust by the other races.

### Shapechanger
|

|
|
|

|
|
Mimikin can change their appearance and voice on demand. This includes choosing specific colorations of eyes, skin, and hair, along with hair length, sex, and even height and weight (the latter two within human standards). This ability even allows them to pass as a member of another (human-sized) race, although their game statistics do not change. They can only duplicate the appearance of a creature that they have seen, and are limited to forms with the same basic arrangement of limbs. The change process takes 1 round, and has no affect on their clothing or equipment. Once the change is complete, it can be maintained until the mimikin either changes again or they die (at which point they revert to their true forms).
