{{flavour|Item: An apparently abandoned item, actually a small beast in disguise.

Feature: A predator masquerading as an ordinary dungeon feature. This one is less dangerous than most mimics, but can still devour the likes of you.}}

==Useful Info==
'''Inept mimics''' are puny predatory monsters which lure you into combat by disguising themselves, either as items on [[the Dungeon]] floor or as [[Dungeon features]] (such as [[stairs]] or [[door]]s). Fortunately, they are weak enough that any hero who isn't very low level or already heavily injured should have little trouble dispatching them. The biggest threat they present lies in the fact that their attacks occasionally leave you [[held]] and unable to easily walk away from combat until the [[mimic]] is defeated. They can be found on Dungeon: 1-6, and less commonly on D:7-12.

==Tips & Tricks==
If for some reason you find yourself in desperate need of escaping, [[blink]]ing or [[teleport]]ing away can help you do so more quickly. However, inept mimics are weak enough that this should rarely, if ever, be necessary.

==History==
Inept mimics were added in [[0.11]], and removed in [[0.16]].
