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. So I'd say roll your search check against the mimic's disguise check (with penalties since you're actually touching the thing).  If your search check beats the thing's disguise, then you note "something's not right about the carpet."If the disguise check beats your search, "The carpet seems stiff."Since you did say you were checking: I'd do disguise (with some penalties) vrs search.</blockquote>
