A Tombstone Mimic in Dungeons & Dragons is a variant of the classic Mimic creature, known for its ability to shape-shift into various objects to ambush unsuspecting prey. This particular form mimics the appearance of a tombstone, often found in graveyards or other burial sites. The Tombstone Mimic typically takes the shape of a gravestone or memorial marker, blending in with its surroundings to appear innocuous to adventurers. Its goal is to lure curious individuals or those seeking to disturb the grave, making it a dangerous creature in these eerie environments.

Like other Mimics, the Tombstone Mimic possesses a sticky, adhesive surface that allows it to grapple and restrain its victims upon contact. When someone interacts with what seems like an ordinary tombstone, the Mimic will reveal its true form, attacking with powerful bites and using its shape-shifting abilities to keep its prey trapped. The Mimic’s adaptability allows it to alter its form even during combat, making it difficult to predict and counter.

These creatures are typically solitary but may be found in places where the dead are interred, often in abandoned or forgotten graveyards. Tombstone Mimics can play into themes of eerie and unsettling encounters, particularly in adventures where the undead or forgotten history are central elements. Their ability to mimic a common object like a tombstone adds a layer of tension, as players cannot easily distinguish them from actual gravestones without closer inspection. As with all Mimics, their sudden ambush and relentless pursuit make them a threat that requires quick thinking and careful observation to defeat.
