Observe any sudden changes in your surroundings
Now that you mention it…there’s a lot of shaking all of the sudden.
Taken from Monsterpedium, general Farthorian library:
“The mimic – a natural predator that feasts on victims, decieved by elaborate illusions. No one has ever seen a mimic’s original form. Sizes vary from speciment to speciment, the smallest one being measured as slightly bigger than an average rabbit and the biggest being mistaken for a second moon for two-hundred years before it realized the planet wasn’t going to walk into it’s mouth and left.”
What do you do?
Cast seismise or summon magma elemental
Leave, tsk-tsking all the way.
You don’t have enough power for this fight. Take Violet and blink out of there.
Hide in the cave you are in so it can’t eat you!
Kill this imposter!
Mock the mimic until it is critically demoralized.
Feel safe knowing that Veruvasatazezzt will never find you in your new fortress!
Look around.
when in doubt, incinerate.
Think really hard about the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man.
enlarge your sword of manadan to the point where the monster explodes.
ok, that quote is priceless…
on topic:
Take a rain check…
Goad the monster into walking the way you want it to
or
Attempt to lead the monster to your destination
Point out things could be worse.
OR
Point out things could be worse and then wait for them to get worse.
Be oblivious to the changes around you and focus on your new pet
Comment: I absolutely love this description of mimics and the very idea of huge mimics is both awesome and fascinating.
WDYDs
Burn this cave’s mouth.
OR
Use Manadan to cut a hole in the side of this thing’s face.
Use your manadan to cut it from the inside. DUH
Stick your sword in the mimic’s tongue.

Try useing some of vazerdaft’s powers. Mind control the mimic.
