Summary: New creature Mimic. sprites + suggesting stats.

Initial Comment:
Hope it's acceptable. 

After comparing the stats of the existing creatures I came up with these suggested stats. 

name: Mimic				
class	: spirit 				
attributes				
atk	260	//hits like monks			
def	39	//between black slime and elder skeleton			
HP 200	//Black slime range			
Speed - 0.4 // Being shaped like a chest isn't helping it's speed.
Size - 32x32 96x128			
Level 25
XP	400				
Drops - //as sentient treasure chests they could be rich in money, drop low level swords, armor, boots, various (honestly kind of useless) equipment.
 
If I'm figuring it right this would make them ideal in early caves, and dungeon areas ie Kobold side of Semos Mines, 

Thanks for your time.

Cross fingers that I've done this right.
I set up a local server and toyed with the mimics stats until I found
something that I will work. Also added the drops blue suggested.
The file should contain:

Message:
* I completely agree. I suggested a high attack so they'd be some what
unique from the other 25's but, this is more damage then I expected. 

* That would be nice. Couldn't think of anything at the time. Hm, what to
say about mimics...

* Those drops sound good to me. :) 
I was also thinking maybe golden boots as an uncommon drop but, he might
not be a tough enough creature to warrant that.

Message:
Hello,

I tested the mimic and got the following results/ideas afterwards:

* I would suggest to decrease the atk rate for the mimic. It hits really
strong now and might be too strong for his level

* It would be great if it can get an own description

* To drops: Money fits well and maybe something like a normal dagger and a
broadsword?

Message:
Added an original idle sprite so it can close it's chest when not
attacking. Will have to make another mimic that resembles the bank chests
sometime. Should of thought of that sooner.
