Mimics

Mimics are small creatures which can camouflage themselves in the environment by some unknown ability. On the rim, this means they'll transform into any non-living thing of similar size, avoiding detection from even the most keen observer. Should they arrive near your colony, it would be wise to take them out. Being small they are quite fragile, and can be taken out by gunfire quite easily. Though, they are quite quick and close combat with one isn't recommended.

Should you leave a mimic alone though, you'll find that it can be a clever hunter, waiting for prey to wander near before ambushing. If the mimic is successful, it will be quick to multiply. Consuming a corpse is enough for it to split into copies of itself, which can quickly get out of hand.

Mimics, like most Typhon are psychic in nature, and their organs are highly valued in the manufacturing of neuromods skilltrainers. This has lead mimics being used in questionable scientific experiments, where living beings are fed to mimics to multiply them, and harvest those precious materials.

FAQ

Can I add this mod mid-save?
Yes and no. This mod adds two factions for behavior to work correctly. You'll need Vanilla Expanded Framework for that to allow adding the Typhon factions when it discovers them.

How do I craft skilltrainers?
Via the fabrication bench, using some Typhon organs, gold, and advanced components.
