Mimic Taming is not a hobby for the faint-hearted, or those too attached to their fingers. However, this hobby is popular with Doppelgangers, giving them a ‘feels-close’ sort of pet that will eventually approach human-level intelligence. Mimics appreciate touch, and will often shift through several shapes until they find one that “feels right” against whatever surface is touching them, often settling on wood grain or some other rough texture, in order to better appreciate the scritches. They enjoy being spoken to, especially in melodic tones. It is a little-known fact that Mimics love to hear singing, and can often be discovered when they join in to a popular and well-known song they hear. It is important to remember to oil any surface you touch to a Mimic, to avoid being stuck to it. They can be trained over time not to exude the sticky substance, but to avoid losing fingerprints, skin, or useful coverings, protection is wise. When raising your Mimic, remember to keep it well-fed on food scraps. They are omnivorous, but prefer flavorful meats. If they can see that they are being fed the same foods as their handler, they appreciate the attention.
