For my college capstone project, we where making a dungeon crawler type game. We had chest, and I was required to model said chest. My college classmates where talking about potential ideas and mimics was thrown. I was reminded of an image I found on the net of a Buff Mimic, as the standard Mimic archetype is Toothy, thin, spindly mimics.

So I decided to model it! This effectively also shows off the chest model, which was supposed to be generic but Didn't realize it matched the mimic image so much. But I didn't want to remodel the chest just because it was similar. It was meant to be generic chest anyways.

The texture was made primarily by Roch Charron, one of my partners. I made modifications to the texture to add variance and some detailing that mixer couldn't do so easily.
