As well as being stronger than a regular mimic they have minor magical abilities that help them lure prey within reach.A metal mimic can have almost any dimensions, but usually is not more than 12 feet long. A typical metal mimic has a volume of 200 cubic feet (about 5 feet by 5 feet by 8 feet) and weighs about 7,000 pounds.Metal mimics speak Common.CombatMetal mimics often create a magical light to lure adventurers or monsters to approach them. This light usually appears to be the glow of a magical item, but the mimic will imitate other light-sources such as torches, lanterns or campfires if it thinks these are more likely to interest a victim. A favorite ploy is to shape part of its body into a glowing sword or shield and place a false magic aura upon it, since avaricious creatures find such a treasure hard to resist.A metal mimic often surprises an unsuspecting opponent, lashing out with a heavy pseudopod. The creature does not necessarily fight to the death if it can succeed in extorting treasure or food from a party.Adhesive (Ex): A metal mimic exudes a thick  slime that acts as a powerful adhesive, holding fast any creatures or  items that touch it. An adhesive-covered mimic automatically grapples  any creature it hits with its slam attack. Opponents so grappled cannot  get free while the mimic is alive without removing the adhesive first. A weapon that strikes an adhesive-coated mimic is stuck fast unless the  wielder succeeds on a DC 18 Reflex save. A successful DC 18 Strength  check is needed to pry it off. These DCs are Constitution-based. Strong alcohol dissolves the adhesive, but the mimic still can grapple  normally. A mimic can dissolve its adhesive at will, and the substance  breaks down 5 rounds after the creature dies.Create Light (Sp): Four times per day, a metal mimic can create light. This functions as the light spell (caster level 5th), except the mimic can place the source of this light anywhere upon its body or upon any object it can touch. Crush (Ex):  A metal mimic deals 2d6+6 points of damage with a successful grapple check.False Magic Aura (Su): Once per day, a metal mimic can give itself or a part of itself a false magical aura, as per the magic aura spell (Will save DC 16). The aura lasts for 24 hours, or the metal mimic can cancel its magic aura as a free action. The save DC is Charisma-based.    Mimic Shape (Ex): A metal mimic can assume the general shape of  any object that fills roughly 200 cubic feet (5 feet by 5 feet by 8  feet), such as a massive chest, a stout bed, or a wide door frame. The  creature cannot substantially alter its size, though. A mimic’s body is  hard and has a rough texture, no matter what appearance it might  present. Anyone who examines the mimic can detect the ruse with a  successful Spot check opposed by the mimic’s Disguise check. Of course,  by this time it is generally far too late.  SkillsA mimic has a +8 racial bonus on Disguise checks.</blockquote>
