How does a species that is born with a fucking chest in

>>389820862
think about oysters

There are insects that have evolved to look nearly identical to leaves and twigs.

>>389820862

How does a knight live to the end of time?

>>389820862
How does Sif stand up, let alone jump, when his weight would cripple his legs?

>>389820862
how can op post anything when his hands are full of cock?

>>389820862
How can you swing a sword with 16 strength and only 10 dex?

>>389820862
its not a species

>>389820862
typically they were some long gone wizard's attempt at home security that got into the wild.

>>389820862
it's obviously a magic spell/curse placed on a chest by its owner to protect important treasure, rather than a creature that happens to be born with a treasure chest for a head.

>>389821049
Leaves and twigs are very simple shapes. The amount of stages of evolution with no survival benefit required to reach the point where a mimic starts looking like a chest is completely unrealistic.

Like many japanese mythological creatures that are born from old objects that after many years gathering dust become alive
>>389821876
Or this

wizards live longer than a normal man and never get laid, you would make treasure chest monsters to fuck with people too if you were a 230 year old virgin

>>389820862
I wonder what would happen if you put your dick in it ha ha

how does he not chomp on his own arms when he holds you down?

>>389821131
Because he was a undead with a curse and a purpose to look for the blood of the dark soul. As Long as you're motivated on a purpose in life while undead, you won't go hollow

But these are one of the least threatening enemies in the game.

>chest in dangerous area.
>weak and spiteful losers die in dangerous areas in pursuit of treasure
>their souls and regrets float their way to the treasure eventually
>coalesces into a monster who yet contains the treasure within it.

Is my headcanon.

>>389820862
They were a race of people who were really fucking greedy so a god cursed them to be Mimics. I don't remember the details, but this is the canon answer.

Read the fucking item description holy shit

"Monster head resembling a treasure chest. Once an ancient god, it is said this is the symbol of shame imposed on a long lost clan, exiled for the sin of avarice. Wearing this slightly raises soul absorption and item discovery, but also affects its wearer with the curse of the branded."

you don't understand suspension of disbelief.

>>389825112

found it

>>389826467
Is there an english version of this yet?

also I just realized we STILL don't have english scans of either 1 or 2's artbooks

>>389825392
It's mostly about suspension of disbelief than just "why does magical stuff happens".
Mimics are more of a game mechanic than a sensible or interesting lore concept, which is why they can clash with a lore heavy game like dark souls. Stuff like >>389821876 is usually all that's needed to explain something like that

>>389820862

It's not born with a chest, it's like a hermit crab that takes over a real chest.
