=== Thwarbler === | |||
Thwarblers are Mimics that have evolved to [[mimic]] not only a physical appearance, but also sounds and patterns of artificial light. They typically pose as candles or lamps, promising the comfort of seeing in the [[darkness]]. A creature that picks up such a light source, however, is quickly charred and devoured. | Thwarblers are Mimics that have evolved to [[mimic]] not only a physical appearance, but also sounds and patterns of artificial light.
