Mimic

Looks like a chest when you walk up to it but opens to reveal a set of teeth ready to bite you.  Can make short hops like a slime (probably uses same AI).  Generates in strongholds, fortresses, and other places where chests are found.  Weak to moderate strength enemy that drops a chest upon death.

    I like this idea, adds a bit of risk when getting the loot.  Of course, when it dies a chest should be placed containing random loot so that there is some sort of reward.  The structure it generates in should determine the loot table it pulls from.

    This has been ripped off from a mod, I don't remember which. C'mon man, give some credit instead of stealing ideas.

    This was from the Aether mod.  If it gets added, they deserve the credit.

    actually, mimics aren't exclusive to the Aether mod, they are in almost every RPG game involving dungeons, whether they are table top, or on computer. the first thing i can think of that has mimics is Dungeons & Dragons.

    Ah, already submitted.. would just add: can be nice if it also spawn in your house/base near your others chests. It should jump less high than slime, maybe 1 block jump.

    Also I have to agree with the others, If it does get in, give credit to Aether. But besides that, I have to ask, how much damage does the Mimic deal and much damage does it take to kill one. And Also, this means it can drop Totems of Undying if Mojang uses LastDovahkiin12 's Idea.

    Also, if it does spawn near your base, what would it drop.
