This article is about shapeshifters that imitate inanimate objects. For other uses, see Mimic (disambiguation). Mimics are creatures that are able to change their shape into something resembling a treasure chest, or other furniture-like objects. They typically lie in wait until an unsuspecting creature attempts to "open" the chest, at which point the mimic will attack.

Mimics are known as Imposters.
While throwing rocks at unopened chests started as a way to detect for imposters, it quickly became a tradition throughout the colonies.
