Transform your dungeon exploration into a nightmare with this Large-scale Fireplace Mimic. Disguised as a common stone hearth complete with a cluttered mantel, its true nature is revealed only when the jagged teeth lining its mouth snap shut on unsuspecting adventurers.
A mimic remains perfectly still in its fireplace form, waiting for an adventurer to approach the warmth to spring its trap.
A classic ambush predator or 'trap monster' designed to surprise players who approach it as a piece of benign dungeon terrain or environmental dressing.
