Talk:Mimics

I don't know why, but I seem to get a disproportionately high amount of titan gloves from mimics. I've gotten 5 gloves, 2 compasses, 1 dual hook, and 1 stone from these guys. Has the drop rate shown on the page been proven from code? 216.232.137.221 23:53, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yesh. Recalibrate your random generator.
 * Believe it or not, your results aren't all that significant, statistically. Once you have 50 or so drops, it becomes a little more meaningful. -- TechpriestMagos 22:43, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Dungeons
I'm almost certain I've had a mimic spawn in a dungeon, despite the listed Anomaly... not positive though, this was some time ago, before I got Skyrim on christmas eve. --74.102.196.95 06:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I encountered a mimic in a dungeon prior to hardmode. I have never activated hard mode on any world, I am a relatively new player. It killed me very quickly.--Fyurae 21:08, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

This might be due to the common wires and switches in dungeons, along with a mimic statue.

Biome Conversion
Will a chest mimic turn into a gold chest mimic when it enters the caverns layer, and vice-versa? It would make sense if that happened. I don't know why but it just would. User:Terrariatrooper9
 * No. They spawn as one variant and will stay it until they die. -TheFrostSpark (talk) 19:16, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

We need an ice mimic image still :)

I like how they go OM NOM NOM I WILL EAT YOU!!!! I was playing iOS and one was in the dungeon, and it scared me so bad XD. It killed me and I lost 20 gold coins. Are they rare spawn on mobile? I'm on a quest to kill one and none will spawn. I want dem drops yo!

Mimics not droping items
I've killed 100 + mimics never got a cross necklace or a titan glove I don't know if it's a bug or an intended feature. Ps I am on mobile iOS 90.176.184.27 10:27, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

When I explore the underground jungle, mimics seem to spawn more often than in any other underground biome. Has anyone else noticed this?

Jungle mimic
Since it doesn't spawn naturally, shouldn't it say unspawnable or something like that in the description of the enemy?
 * (currently unspawnable) appears just below its name in the infobox, and the paragraph above also notes that it doesn't spawn through any normal means. Seems quite clear to me. Gearzein (talk) 21:23, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess it's clear, but since it doesn't spawn in the underground jungle, is that really its environment? Since it doesn't really matter and it was probably meant to spawn there, I guess it can just be left the way it is.
