a creature with no true form, often takes the form of a treasure chest and attacks adventurers. a mimic can forever obtain a copy of a ally or foe and transform into this copy at will. this form can only be removed by killing it as if you were to kill the actual person/being. a mimic is the best transformite found anywhere. the only way to defeat a mimic is to kill its first form.
