In the first round of a combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against any creature who is surprised.
You can mimic any sounds you have heard, including voices. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check.
You can read and write Common and Auran, but you can only speak using your Mimicry trait.
