| Text | The mimaxe is a living weapon, the result of a mimic's unlucky encounter with a magical goblin blacksmith. You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic battleaxe.
Hungry:
The mimaxe has 3 charges and recovers spent charges by consuming corpses. It takes 1 minute to consume a corpse. A Small corpse restores 1 charge, a Medium corpse 2, and a Large corpse 3. The mimaxe does not benefit from eating Tiny corpses and can't eat Huge or Gargantuan corpses. It can't have more than 3 charges at once, and a full mimaxe refuses to consume any additional corpses.
The process of consuming a corpse is loud, obvious, and messy. Once consumed, the corpse is completely destroyed and any magic equipment on it is spat out into the nearest unoccupied space. The mimaxe does not change weight, regardless of what it has consumed.
If the mimaxe goes 24 consecutive hours without eating a corpse, it loses 1 charge.
Roar:
If you make an Intimidation check while wielding the mimaxe, you may spend one charge to gain advantage on the check.
Teeth:
Whenever you hit a creature with this weapon, you may spend 1 charge to deal an additional 1d8 acid damage.
False Appearance:
While the mimaxe remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an ordinary battleaxe.
Sentience:
The mimaxe is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 5, a Wisdom of 14, and a Charisma of 8. It has darkvision out to a range of 60 feet and hearing out to a range of 120 feet. The weapon communicates verbally with its wielder and can speak, read, and understand Common.
Personality:
The mimaxe is constantly hungry and desires to eat and be used in battle. It obeys its wielder as long as it's kept well-fed, but will act out and become unruly if hungry or left to its own devices. After 24 hours with 0 charges, the Mimaxe will attempt to break attunement and look for the nearest source of food, which may be its owner.
Versatile: This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property—the damage when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee Attack.
Proficiency: martial, battleaxe
