0.31.2612 - Mimic!

The barkeep asked why we carried weapons into his bar.

I said ‘Mimics.’

The party laughed.

The barkeep laughed.

The table laughed.

We killed the table. Good times.

So! We have a mimic in the game now. This is a weird kind of monster that is indistinguishable from a regular chest. Until it starts fighting back when the player character tries to open it.

Those are rare, you may not meet a single one on the level or two. But as you progress deeper, the larger the chances are that some of those presumably inert chests will make a jump and start pushing the player around. A well-landed mimic hit will launch the player uncontrollably into distance in addition to dealing decent damage. Plus will steal one piece of equipment.

Kill the mimic to recover stolen goods and maybe even find a few more additional items inside.
