Wahey! It's been quite a while since I last posted. Did you miss me again? No? Ok.
So exactly what the title says, more mimics! I really like the mimic concept and their cool and powerful *cough Stormbow and Dart Pistol* loot they drop. But wouldn't more mimics be a nice addition to the game?
Now to address one thing. Shadow mimics. They are really cool, but I was always puzzled to why they dropped only regular mimic loot. Since the underworld becomes a pretty barren place in hardmode, why not spice it up with revamped Shadow mimics?
Ok so now you have seen the reworked Shadow mimic. Now prepare for actually new mimics.
SPIDER MIMIC!
As the name implies, it can only be found in a spider den. It will appear as a web-covered chest, until activation. Try not to get eaten by a recluse while taking it down!
Next mimic, SKYWARE MIMICS!
This mimic only lives high in the sky. How they get up there is beyond me, but they sure drop some pretty nice sky-themed loot.
And when you thought it was over, the MUSHROOM MIMIC adds more to the thread!
DESERT MIMIC
This mimic is quite a rare specimen. It rarely spawns in deserts, but you're much more likely to encounter one in a sandstorm. They drop some nice desert loot.
DUNGEON MIMIC
A little loot from the dungeon before the harder enemies move in. Looks like a really big locked gold chest
METEOR MIMIC
This species of mimic is large and happens to be very rare. Finding one is a sight to behold, if you can escape alive. They only show at meteor crash sites.
Well that was it! I thought about changing the unspawnable jungle mimics, but there is already too much jungle loot

So the main stats will stay the same, except the loot is obviously different.
