That is a good point. I have considered that, but I feel that the name "Doppelganger" fits a tad better as they are unable to take any other form without using another organism to serve as a "host". While yes, a doppelganger is simply a look-alike in a more modern meaning; doppelgangers also have been descriped as apparitions and have been considered a paranormal phenomena. My take on doppelgangers primarily take from the mythological aspects and the D&D incarnation with a few twists I felt like adding. Not sure how credible my sources are, but I'll provide them if you wish to see them.

All that aside, you make a good point. Especially with the name mimic. I just prefered the name doppelganger. I apologise if sound a tad hostile, I didn't mean to come off as such if I did.
