All Things Mimic in One Book

Coming March 1st, 2026 for 5e!

Mimicology is a compendium of D&D compatible lore entirely dedicated to mimics, showcasing new: magical items, monster variants, unique rules, a one-shot campaign, and much more...

This is your invitation to open that suspicious looking chest and find an even more suspicious looking leather book with grinning teeth.

Inside the book you will explore: 
  • The lore and biology of mimics
  • Insights into mimic habits and communication
  • Rules for taming familiars and mimics
  • Familiar leveling system tied to player level
  • Guides for harvesting mimic parts and turning them into items
  • Playable mimic race/species
  • 4 new character Backgrounds
  • 4 new character Feats
  • New Fighting Style
  • 8 new Subclasses
  • Rules for crafting Aberrant (semi-living) magic items
  • 25 Aberrant magic items ready to use
  • 34 new and unique Mimic Monsters
  • A level 5 one-shot campaign



But inside the chest, behind the book, there’s more loot:

  • Character Notebook for characters too cool for scrap paper. 
  • Arcane Dice made for crits and compliments. 
  • Extra-mini Metal Dice protected by a mimic pendant. 
  • Mimic Eyes Dice set, with eyes that move to carefully watch your rolls. 
  • Mimic Dice Tray that eats away your bad rolls. 
  • DM Screen to protect your Aberrant secrets. 
  • DM Notebook to help you build your world to something monsterous.
