'''Mimics''' are a fantasy monster originating from ''Dungeons & Dragons''. They disguise as some kind of beneficial item, usually a treasure chest, and then reveal their true form - typically by growing a sharp-toothed mouth or muscular arms - to attack.

All published appearances of mimics from before January 1, )-(95)}} are in the public domain in the US.

Some notable appearances include:
