New blog post by Leo Hunt on the Vaults of Vaarn blog:

I run a bi-monthly feature on the Vaarn Patreon called Monster Monday, where patrons get the chance to vote on spark words, which I then use as inspiration for new Vaarn monsters. A recent vote resulted in a tie between the spark words ‘echopraxia’ and ‘pareidolia’. These mean ‘an involuntary imitation or repetition of someone else’s actions’ and ‘the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.’ For reasons I trust are obvious, these prompts got me thinking about mimics, creatures that copy something or someone else. What follows is part of the post I created for Patreon, a variety of riffs on the idea of a mimic.

    Yeah, that would be a great dungeon encounter and also “part of the dungeon itself” because of the possible translocation.

    I feel like the Exemplars could be a great (maybe recurring?) NPC with a lot of potential.

      yeah Exemplars could get a lot of mileage for sure!
