False Mirrors
Dangerous. The reflection is a fate you could have, but your reflection does have. And they hate it. And they hate you. Better you're dead, and they take your place. Occasionally, a mirror is warped with time, and its reflection is distorted- these mirror opposites have long grasping limbs, too wide mouths, or voluminous stomachs- they particularly hate their reflective originals.
Distorted False Mirrors: Occur with a 1:6 chance and the particular distortion might result in attacks with reach (limbs), swallow (mouth), or wind attack that pushes players (stomach)
But sometimes your reflection (with the dead eyes) is not there, and all that is left is the strange object you could easily reach for...
