Tactics
The same tactics as the regular Mimic, it’s a one trick pony whose value lies in the variety of disguises it might take. Whether a given Greater Mimic might be able to mimick your session’s players is up to you; check if any prototypings might lend themselves to that, if you are of an especially wicked bent.
Drops
60 EXP, 30 T1 Grist, 60 BG
