	'''Mimics''' are mischievous entities which harmlessly toy with passing adventurers. They disguise themselves as [[shop]]s, and in certain areas, items - most notably the [[rune of Zot]] in [[Vaults]]:5. However, once you come within a one-tile radius of them, they will "vanish and cackle," disappearing from the game forever. Mimics are most often harmless, though a mimic rune may lead to hazardous situations.		'''Mimics''' are mischievous entities which harmlessly toy with passing adventurers.
