Faker / Fakers

Fakers like mimics and Copycats are part of the Immatori family of creatures. They are naturally amorphous and are capable of partially or fully taking on the shape of any object, size permitting. With each feeding, fakers grow slightly larger allowing them to take on bigger and more complex shapes and consume larger prey. Some researchers have speculated that the similarities between Fakers and Mimics is just too close and it's quite possible they are not separate species but in fact two life stages of the same creature.

Fakers prefer to hunt by taking on the shape of common household objects. They have been observed using this strategy not only to consume whole creatures that fall for their ruse but also taking a bite out of an unsuspecting mortal or animal and running off with their stolen nutrients.

Fakers will typically attempt to be mistaken for a common household item or tool. They may attempt to imitate a wood chopping axe, or a ceramic mug, a small stool or a book. 

Fakers are often too committed to their disguises until they are sure they have been outed. This can be used against them by cunning individuals who take advantage of the faker’s inability to move while taking the form of an inanimate object.
