Dungeon features

Mimics can be items (in rooms), boulders (in corridors), unaligned altars (in temples), and even closed doors (in doorways) or staircases (in rooms) in the dungeon.

Is it really true they cannot mimick a boulder in a room? IIRC I've had that. Also, I can't believe the mimic code checks if there's a priest present before mimicking an altar. --Tjr 19:49, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

I've once had a Sokoban zoo blocked off by a Mimic that looked like a boulder. It was standing in the doorway. --FJH (talk) 04:07, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
I've had the same boulder-in-a-room experience that Tjr has had, though if the DevTeam is reading this, may I recommend that eating a mimic while hallucinating turns you into a fuzzy armchair instead of an orange? I'm thinking homage to Hitchhiker's Guide...
