monster idea : fake items

[lethal coyote]

there would be fake big items (gears, bottles, ect...) that the monster would be, you can figure out if they are a fake or not via the same methods used for the mimic. (shovel hitting, interaction text or icon is different, ect...) if you pick it up they will reveal themself and attack, after they scamper. they do 30 hp.

Thats a good idea but maybe instead of hitting them with a shovel, it start to tremble in your hands and then attack.

Cuz do you see yourself hit every scrap in the facility to se if its fake?
I wouldnt, xD

I would have it only be valuables

And have the value be slightly higher then normal

So people would have reasons to be suspicious

And they would have odd weights

Ohh okay okay

good idea

when picking it up i would think of it being instant, like one moment you see bottles and you get them, and then the next moment you are holding a monster
