I'll second the difficulty of killing a Hallowed (or Corrupt/Crimson) Mimic.

The first time I encountered one in Hardmode, it killed me. The trick to dealing with them is a long flat open area where you can get up to your top running speed. You can then barely outrun them and with a good ranged weapon and buffs (Archery and Wrath) plus a Ranger Emblem, they become easier to kill. The Corrupt ones drop the Cahin Guillotines, an upgraded version of the Chain Knife with the same reach as the Dao of Pow and it auto swings. It has become my main go-to melee weapon.

The best item from the Hallowed Mimics is the Daedalus Stormbow. When used with Holy Arrows, it is absolutely devastating against the mech bosses, in particular the Destroyer. I had to spawn several of them before one finally dropped it.
