So we all know Little Baby Man, we all love Little Baby Man Danny...but what if it isn't Danny? Or at least a large part of him.
See what happens to the parts of a ghost that gets cut off or lost? What happens to the ecto that clearly person but no longer connected to the main body of ectoplasm? It becomes a Mimic of that ghost.

Danny, barging into CWs tower: CLOOCKWOORRK! Look at these! What even are these things!
Danny, pushing a literal arm full of LBMs at CW, which squirm in the way only baby animals and tiny beasts full of mischief can: Why do they look like me? Why is there so many of them?? Ow ow ow fecker stop chewing on my ear!
Clockwork, watching as the offending LMB gets yeeted across the roon, only to splat like a rubber rat, slide down the wall pitifully them lay twitching on the floor dramatically, it's little eyes opening every few clearly fake whimpers to see if it had garnered enough sympathy: Daniel how many times have you dismembered?
Danny, looking up and looks like he would be counting on his fingers if they were not containing chaos gremlin that look like him: Like...it has to be more than 3.
Clockwork, peeling a LBM off of himself: 53 times a part of your body has come loose from your core and was left behind instead of being reabsorpted. And because of all those times you have...these.
Danny looked down at the writhing ball of him shaped ferret like beasts and sighed: I really need to stop getting vivisected...forking parents, they keep stealing my organs.
Clockwork, sighing as he is resigned of being used as a jungle gym for LBM: Daniel, that's not healthy. You are stunting yourself by losing ectoplasm... but back to what you so kindly yelled after kicking in my door, these things? That look like you and has your bare base instincts and personality? They are Mimics, little mini mes that are created when a part of a ghosts ectoplasm is removed entirely from the cores' control.
Danny, staring at the horde: Wait so you mean-
Clockwork: that each one of those are your as stated "stolen organs"
Danny, picking up a goof ball that melts a little bit info his hand: So this is me?
Clockwork, with LBM now resting in his hood: In a way, the ecto has changed to survive without access to the core, it can be reintergrated but I would advise against it, not only have you naturally regenerated the missing ectoplasm, the ecto that the Mimics are made of would forever have this...level of disorderly conduct.
Danny, sighing while the LBM crawl all over him, a group seem to be having a game of 'King of the Hill' on his head: well gosh darn, slip slap flippity fuck CW.
Clockwork, sighing, his own Mimics start to round up the Little Baby Men and seem to be teaching them gremlin things: It is best to just let then roam Daniel, trying to rangle them is simply a lost cause, let them free in the Realms or on your earth, it doesn't matter, they are masters of getting into things normally, though combined with your...instincts for chaos? They could end up anywhere.
