Fun fact: These mimics were shaped like uvulas that bore violent rows of teeth. Given their presence deep within water without need for hiding in a particular shape, I theorize this to be the true, natural form of a mimic. This could also be a mimicry preference stemming from a prior time in its life however, so more research will need to be conducted into the nature of mimics and their adaptability (or absence of) to validate this theory.
