If those pictures up above don't spell it out clearly enough, let me do it for you: mimics are able to imitate any inanimate object they choose, and they are able to do it so perfectly that it's impossible to discern the real from the fake. Most often, mimics will take the form of chests for any unsuspecting victim to fall prey to their ingenious and terrifying trap. Mimics have been used especially in many video games, ranging Super Mario 64 to Banjo-Kazooie to Final Fantasy to Dark Souls. This shows they're a versatile creature with no real ties to any one genre, however, their appearance almost always marks some of the scariest moments in these games. Just take a look at how the Mad Piano in Mario 64 has made such a mark on the childhoods of many gamers, maybe even being their first encounters with something horror-related like that. Their appearance in Dark Souls is particularly sinister, especially considering the already difficult nature of the game. They will grab the player and take a nice chomp out of them, the animation looking like a death scene out of a game over screen in Resident Evil. Then, when awoken, they look like what a Leprechaun would probably manifest in Silent Hill. In Chrono Trigger, mimics can appear as save points, meaning that all hope is lost and nothing is sacred anymore! When done right, Mimics can inflict just the perfect amount of psychological horror on the player and make them scared to open any subsequent chest and maybe even become wary of other things mimics may be lurking as. It's quite frankly an almost perfect horror concept that in a rare inverse, only gets scarier as you encounter more of them, and that's just something I love. --- What I am about to do has not been approved by the Vatican. https://imgur.com/MmrKwGZ - https://imgur.com/ntWVGyh <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:930371421] in Snake Rank...
