Mimics

Why doesn't this game have mimics

Imagine if when you go to open a strongbox only to be eaten by a horrible monster i mean we have devourers why not mimics

Probably rejected as being too "torch-light-y".

While it may be a little cheesy, I would love to see a good doppelganger boss fight make its way into poe at some point :D. Maybe something akin to the ones in Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

There is kind of that in the unique strand map where you get a unique boss that is the same char class as you are

Nox has the first appearance of Mimics I know of.

A lot of monsters they could add if this game is supposed to be " the real d3 "

Angels :

Dark / black angels
Seraphs
Corrupted white angels


Demons :

Poe demons looks lame imo , ggg just look at magic the gathering to get an idea of what demons are . You are way off imo . Not badass enough .

Classic rpg monsters/creatures :

goblins , orcs , gnomes , dwarfes , golems , giants , ghosts , spirits , lichs , dragons , wyverns , vampires , werewolfes , elves , faeries etc the list is extremely long .

mythological monsters are often in games like this too :

Minotaurs , griffins , hydras , gorgons to name a few .


In general the monsters in poe is not very scary/badass to look at . I liked the monsters in the diablo games way more . My opinion .

The only monsters in D3 (original) that I thought were kinda scary are the Thralls.
In Diablo I they had some cool monsters, though.

Mimics are straight out of Dungeons and Dragons. Their first appearance was in the original Monster Manual from 1977. I was 6 years old. :D

I'm also sure that D&D was inspired by earlier mythical monsters as well.

We have Rogue Exiles lurking in Strongboxes if you want the Mimic experience of having powerful stats and dropping lots of loot.
