The mimic is a monster that has plagued the adventurous and the greedy alike for many years. It's form is generally unknown due to the fact that it can, as its name suggests, mimic things. They take the form of containers usually, favoring chests and boxes.
It is assumed that the core of the mimic is something akin to a jelly fish in shape only. A large cushy cup with long tendrils to ensnare and pull prey to them. Anything of value is taken first and whatever is left is thoroughly checked out by the tendrils as the box recloses. This looks as if the box is chewing when really the prey contained inside is manipulated and probed before the box settles.
After this if the prey has nothing of value, gold or coins of some nature, the box will digest them. If the box is satisfied which usually takes gems of some sort its prey will be regurgitated. Any valuables taken by the mimic will be used as further bait to draw in more prey.
As of starting Mimic will only take the form of a simple wood and iron chest or wooden box. Even a cardboard box at times can work. With more treasure the monster can take on a more ornate look and larger forms such as beds, couches, and ornate treasure chests.
