Just a couple of creature concepts I thought of recently. Not exactly sure how to stat them appropriately, but here they are. The concepts are there.

Looking into a chest you see that it is filled to the brim with gold coins. As you reach in to take a handful, the coins leap out at you

A coin mimic is a small, strange verity of mimic. Typically keeping in large groups, they can disguise themselves as any mimic can, but typically choose the shape and appearance of gold coins, hence their name.

Upon closer inspection of what appears to be an ordinary helmet, teeth appear to be carved into it's base.

A smaller relative of the mimics commonly found disguised as chests in dungeons, the helmic prefers to disguise itself as pieces of equipment, such as helmets.

Among the most well known relatives of the mimic, architectural mimics take on the form of small buildings and similar structures.

Why not keep it simple?


swarm --> You could treat as a normal mimic with this shape.

Helmet --> just a smaller mimic. Reduce the HD too.

Architecture --> improve through HD, that would give you improved size too.
