Mimic Dresser by Novaminis

It looks like an ordinary piece of bedroom furniture — until the drawers open and the teeth come out.

• ✔ Works on the gaming table and as part of a display diorama

The Mimic Dresser is one of those gloriously wicked creations that turns a mundane dungeon prop into a moment your players will talk about for months. Sculpted by Novaminis with their signature character and menace, this piece shows the dresser mid-reveal: the front panel splitting open to expose a gaping maw lined with jagged, irregular teeth, a thick tongue lolling forward, and textured scales erupting from beneath the woodgrain disguise. The craftsmanship captures both states — the innocuous furniture facade and the horrifying predator beneath — in a single sculpt packed with detail.

As a piece of scatter terrain and encounter centrepiece, this miniature earns its place whether you're setting an ambush in a merchant's storage room, dressing a haunted manor, or running a classic dungeon crawl where nothing can be trusted. It's equally at home on a gaming table mid-encounter and on a display shelf between sessions.

Suited to adventurers who:

• Run dungeon encounters where paranoia and deception are part of the fun
• Want scatter terrain that doubles as a genuine monster miniature
• Are building themed room sets for haunted locations or treasure vaults
• Paint display pieces and enjoy a sculpt with dramatic contrast between disguise and reveal
• Need a reliable shock encounter for new players meeting their first mimic

Encounter Hook:
The party has been hired to recover a stolen ledger from a disgraced merchant's townhouse. The study looks undisturbed — books on shelves, a writing desk, and a dresser in the corner holding folded clothes. The rogue moves to check the dresser first. The dresser has been waiting three days for exactly this moment.

This miniature is scaled to 32mm. A plain black base is available as an optional add-on and comes unattached — a small amount of glue will secure it. Supports are removed before dispatch; as with all resin printing, minor surface marks are occasionally possible and straightforward to clean up. The piece arrives fully cured and ready for priming and painting, or use it straight from the box.
