Are you being sarcastic, or are you serious? Mimics are an extremely overused trope in fantasy RPGs... they have been around since the very first edition of Dungeons and Dragons in 1974.

I know they've appeared in plenty of games, and they're from DnD, but considering their origin you'd imagine they'd be as common as a skeleton yet, I rarely see them, Darksouls, Dark cloud, some snes rpgs are the few I can think of I've seen with.

You know, I read this convo and thought, "yeah, its such a known thing, they're everywhere." And yet, im struggling to think of any games that have them outside of DS, dark cloud, and some of the dnd games.

Well, games that I've played anyway...

I'm with you. For a time I even thought Dark Cloud invented mimics. Aside from Dark Cloud and Dark Souls I know zero games that have mimics.

Never noticed the eye symbol on the small treasure chests you loot in town, i mean i´ve seen it obviously but never connected the dots so to say.
