About this 3D model

A perfectly ordinary, completely safe treasure chest. It is absolutely not a mimic. You can trust it. Please ignore the teeth. This is our Monstrous Articulating Mimic Slider Chest, a segmented model designed to be fun in your hands and full of personality on the table. As you slide and flex the vertical columns, the mimic’s features shift and snarl as it moves, making it an excellent fidget and an oversized mimic miniature for your next D&D game! This model was originally released as part of our Curations By Kira Patreon pack.
