    Couldn’t the mimics just hold their breath for a long time? I also see no problem with them having a physiology so different that their body literally doesn’t move when they breathe, but I don’t play D&D, so maybe I’m missing something with that.

      In Dark Souls, mimics breathe slowly. Like, 17 seconds per breath. It’s tough to spot, but you can spot it if you’re cautious. Since it’s proven to catch people off guard, but CAN be spotted, I figure, why not use what works?
