Mimic Lava Walking

[TheWorfer27]

Ever hear a clink-clink-clink sound while in hell? That's the sound of a shadow mimic getting confused and dying. Ever hear a clink-clink-clink sound in the caverns? I'm sure you can guess what that is. Mimics spawn and fall in lava alot, and it's not engaging for the player in the slightest, and gives them free loot. So, I propose they walk on lava like it's normal ground, so that they don't fall in.

TLDR: Mimics walk on lava to avoid random mimic death

I'd say mimics should avoid lava damage altogether. They have a metal "skin" that looks protective enough against them.
Been the only NPC able to walk on lava looks rather silly.

They'd just get stuck in the lava then.

why not just make them float like slimes? or be immune to lava and get a mobility bonus while in it to escape more easely?

Either one works.

It can also make the player not get any loot by dieing in a deep pit of lava in hell and thus, not being seen.

The clink-clink-clink is usually pretty hard to miss, but maybe with lowered sound noise it could be left unnoticed.

I was more refering to when you can't find the item in the lava

Or maybe all Mimics can leap up into the air like Hallowed Mimics (and maybe Shadow Mimics too, never found one) while in lava.

They should be given the skill to swim in lava or just have a high buoyancy. It will decrease their chances of getting stuck greatly.

That's just the original post

As well as the other biome mimics.
Speaking of biome mimics, the crimson and corruption mimics can be REALLY hard to spot
