A pet that eats a mimic corpse will now morph into an object, much in the same manner as what happens to you. dogmove.c, 1096. However, I honestly can't make sense of the source code, so I have no idea what's actually going on here. -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] ([[User talk:Qazmlpok|talk]]) 04:21, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

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)

A pet that eats a mimic corpse will now morph into an object, much in the same manner as what happens to you. dogmove.c, 1096. However, I honestly can't make sense of the source code, so I have no idea what's actually going on here. -- Qazmlpok (talk) 04:21, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
