I just had a really dumb character idea

So you know how there's like mimics n stuff to which they transform/mimic and object/thing/person

I then also thought of a cuckoo bird and how it inacts brood parasitism

What if let's say this was translated to a sort of mimic thing where the mimic leaves their child to some random family and the child shifts to look like they belonged to that family although still looking more off/off-putting

The mimic child then causes "accidents" to the rest of the children in the family leaving only them in the end to have all the food and everything they need for themself to live

#oc #oc idea #oc ideas #cuckoo #brood parasitism #mimic #mimics #and then the cycle would repeat for like the next generation or whatever #what if the mimic child also theoretically copied how the other children sounded to give the parents some false hope of their old children-#being alive #idfk where that would fit into it but yeah #i would have to say this would apply also to just like normal animals in general too #like cats dogs n all that jazz #because the mimics probably wouldn't be as successful if they only went for humans #I would imagine they only go after mammals though #uhhhhmmm #anyways i hope this post wasn't like too grim or anything because this is just a small idea i had for it #i would also imagine the mimic would eat its siblings if not parents at some point once it “leaves the nest” per se
