A typical Mimic

Overview

Mimics were originally created by wizards to protect themselves from treasure hunters.

Mimics are Aberration type monsters.

Description

Mimics most often appear in the form of a treasure chest, although their natural color is a speckled grey that resembles granite. A mimic can alter its pigmentation to resemble varieties of stone (including marble), and various metals (including gold, silver, and copper).

Mimic Hunt

Multiple times during the year, there is a special event called the Mimic Hunt. During this event, any and all chests in a dungeon can become mimics, and have higher CRs than normal monsters in the quest. Mimics that appear normally in quests are not part of the reward system for this event, and their CR is not changed.
