A mimic disguised as a worn leather backpack. Its cracked brown surface hides twitching seams and retractable tendrils. Inside the main compartment lies a fleshy, tooth-lined maw with a coiled tongue among fake supplies. Brass buckles glint faintly, but move subtly when unobserved. Side pockets hide closed eyelids that blink in darkness. The straps wrap like constricting limbs when attached to prey. It creaks like strained leather, syncing its breathing with nearby footsteps—patient, parasitic, and disturbingly intelligent.
