Mimic? 5th ai player on vanilla playthrough

[Annihilator16663]

So me and my friends were doing a 4 player full lobby run and at some point one member of our party split up outside the facility. The 3 of us continue on and see a player run through a spike trap and die. We thought it was our fourth but right after this a Bracken immediately kills me. And then I am the only one in the death screen lobby, and the fourth was outside the whole time looking for us when I cycled through the spectating. So this means we ran into some sort of 5th ai player in a vanilla run. Was there mimics or something added to the vanilla version of this game? We have found no information indicating this, which is why we are making this discussion to see if anyone else has had similar experiences.

I can confirm.

There were 3 of us watching the incident while the 4th was back in the ship. The player/thing walked into the trap and died. We assumed it was our 4th player but we saw him back at the ship when we died. We did not see any other players join.

Second this, I was also in the lobby playing and we have a clip of gameplay showing description above if needed. No other players joined, four total, no mods. Any info appreciated!

Fourth player here,

I had wandered back to the ship and attempted to monitor the three other players. We have yet to touch any mods for Lethal Company, so seeing an unknown 5th player appear & die was fairly puzzling.

This could be the case, we all died before we got a good look at his face.

mimics (the mask guys) can spawn naturaly and can also be spawned by wereing a mask

I was the fifth player.

I spawned from a vent, looking for players to convert to masked. I heard a loud noise and went to investigate. I shouldn't have went to that noise. Now I'm dead due to the spike trap. I can confirm I didn't play with any mods.

I will also add that the mimic/thing showed up on the camera on the ship.
