Mimic Crate by Epic Miniatures

The merchant's warehouse seemed ordinary enough — until one of the crates blinked.

• ✔ 32mm scale resin miniature, printed fresh to order in the UK
• ✔ Supplied unpainted and ready to prime

Mimics are a staple of dungeon delving, and this Mimic Crate sculpt captures everything that makes them so gloriously terrifying — a convincing wooden storage crate split wide open to reveal a gaping maw lined with irregular, jagged teeth, a thick prehensile tongue curling outward, and two beady eyes peering from the brow with unsettling intelligence. The crate body itself is beautifully detailed with wood grain and cross-braced planks, making it genuinely convincing at a glance before the horror registers.

This is a medium-sized sculpt by Epic Miniatures, scaled to sit comfortably among standard dungeon terrain and scatter pieces. The open-jawed pose is dynamic and immediately readable on the table — adventurers across the room will know exactly what that crate is, even if their characters don't. Whether you paint it as weathered pine gone wrong or lean into a slimier, more organic palette for the fleshy interior, this mini rewards a creative brush.

The render shows the mini in warm orange resin, with crisp detail on both the organic flesh tones of the creature and the geometric woodwork of its disguise. A scale reference in the render confirms the medium classification — a satisfying chunky piece that will stand out in any dungeon scatter layout.

A fine choice for adventurers who:

• Want to spring a classic mimic encounter with a twist on the usual chest format
• Are building out a warehouse, trading post, or dockside encounter area
• Love monster minis that double as conversation pieces on the display shelf
• Enjoy painting a mix of organic and inorganic textures on a single sculpt

Encounter Hook: The party has been hired to retrieve a specific shipment from an abandoned riverside warehouse. Among the dozens of identical crates, one sits slightly apart from the others — lid ajar, as though already searched. The rogue reaches for it. Roll for initiative.
