Killer Concept: The Mimic
The Mimic appears as an amorphous being that can turn the Survivors' drive to complete their tasks and use it against them.
It's personal perks, Impostor, False Light, and Nowhere To Hide allow The Mimic to make searching, repairing, and hiding difficult and deadly for the Survivors.
The Mimic's power is called: Mimicry
Your body can alter itself, allowing you to take the shape of anything.
Press the Power Button after first looking at a generator, chest, or locker for 5 seconds to change into one of these three objects. A copy of The Mimic is created and will attempt to force Survivors towards the real Mimic. The copy can't be controlled, but can still injure and down Survivors. If a Survivor attempts to repair you if you are a generator, search you if you are a chest, or hide in you if you are a locker, you will instantly transform back into your true form and can instantly put that Survivor into the dying state if you were a generator or chest, and instantly carry them if you were a locker.
Pressing the Power Button while using Mimicry will cause the Copy to respawn at your location if it was destroyed by a pallet.
The Mimic has three perks.
The first one is called: Impostor
Nothing in this realm is certain. No one is who they say they are.
You become Obsessed with one Survivor.
When the Obsession finishes a healing action on another Survivor, that Survivor's aura is revealed to you for 3/4/5 seconds.
You can only be Obsessed with one Survivor.
The second perk is called: False Light
Is it real, or a trick? The way to find out is very risky.
At the start of the trial, 3/4/5 False generators are spawned in the map. When a False generator is repaired, Survivors are unknowingly afflicted with the Exposed status effect for 10/15/20 seconds. Additionally, Survivors who are opening chests will have their auras revealed for 5/6/7 seconds.
False generators are highlighted in a white aura to the Killer.
The final perk is: Nowhere To Hide
Those who put their goals ahead of everything will find no place to hide.
After damaging a generator, the auras of all Survivors currently repairing generators are revealed to you for 5/6/7 seconds. Additionally, The Entity will block all lockers within a 24 meter range of the damaged generator for 15 seconds.
Nowhere To Hide has a cooldown of 50/40/30 seconds.
The Mimic's weapon is a blade arm, similar to The Artist, but not created with ink.
