A killer mimic creature appears to be a chest or similar container at first view. It is only later, when an unwary person nears the innocuous looking object (perhaps seeking to open the container) that the creature is revealed as a hostile attacker.
It's melee attacks inflict 3d4 Crushing damage to a party member in range. If the adventurer runs, the mimic will use a ranged spell attack to attempt to Paralyze them followed by ranged acid-based spell attacks.
The mimics from Siege of Dragonspear and in the Umar Cave are slightly weaker than those in encountered in Watcher's Keep.
