There's no mention in the original version as to whether they can talk, so I'm not sure whether to put "cannot speak" or have them speak Common like regular Mimics: A house-sized block of stone thunders forward on solid granite rollers, a half dozen boneless limbs writhing from its sides.Juggernaut mimics are bizarre carnivores of uncertain provenance, although they are clearly related to mimics. Most sages believe they are a relative of the greater mimic that has developed rollers to become more mobile, or possibly a "final stage" in the life cycle of the house hunter mimic. Another explanation, given little account by scholars, is that they are half-golem, half-mimic creatures created by wizards, who combine a huge living mimic with parts of a stone juggernaut into an unnatural hybrid. Regardless of their origins, juggernaut mimics are living creatures, not constructs. The secret of their origin and reproduction are unknown, no juggernaut mimic young have ever been recorded.These monsters prefer living in firm, flat terrain, since they risk being bogged down by soft ground or tipped over by slopes. They can go for years without eating so long as they remain inactive, so can survive in wastelands with little prey.Juggernaut mimics sometimes serve other creatures in return for treasure and abundant food. They are most commonly employed by armies as living engines of destruction, but can also be used to carry or drag massive loads. A few tyrants have used them as weapons of terror to (literally) crush rebellious villages and perform gory mass executions. The most curious example is a juggernaut mimic who worked as a trumpet musician and a foghorn.Juggernaut mimics [cannot speak, but/can speak Common, and] can form their pseudopods into trumpets that produce roars, whistles and musical notes. These trumpets can be heard over great distances.Combatjuggernaut mimics pretend to be a nondescript piece of scenery, such as a  stone hut or huge boulder, then wait for victims to wander nearby. They  then rise up on their rollers and tries to trample them. If its  opponents prove too maneuverable to easily trample, the juggernaut tries  to grab them with its pseudopods and then stick them to its crushing  rollers using its natural adhesive.</blockquote>
