Some kind of black puddle on the ground which try to seek you and morph into your knight and fight you but have extremely lower health when morphed. When killed, they would turn back into the puddle. and become weak to being stomp on unless you give them time to regain strength.
-When Transforming, It'll stay into said form until target dies.
-Take on your form with a weaker version of everything you have, as nothing is perfect.
-Will have lower HP which should allow you to 5~7 hit with 2 hit-combo sword.
-Armor
Strong to nothing, weak to none. It'll take avg damage against all damage type, but a tad bit more damage vs regular and a tad bit less vs all other element.
-Weapon
Weapon shall be base on recent damage it took. It will use just a regular sword to simplify coding, but have the elemental type of what ever hitted it last before it clone a player.
-Status Effect
I personally think this shouldn't apply, but too toughen things up, It'll have a chance to take on the last/longest-time-remaining(if applicable) status on it.
-Puddle can heal one another by combining with a morphed one, slightly boosting its current strength/defense.
Do feel free to give suggestion and criticism.

Well only question is, how do them mimics attack? Do they have the same weapons? So if i wield a elemental while wearing a skolver set, they can kill me so easily. Mimics will then have 2 weaknesses (elemental and shadow).
