====== Mimic Pie ======

{{ rpd:images:mimicpie_sprite.png|Mimic Pie }}

Mimic Pie is a magical creature that disguises itself as a large, delicious-looking pasty to trick adventurers. It is a variant of the Mimic mob that takes the form of food instead of treasure chests.

==== Description ====
In Remixed PD, mimics can sometimes take the appearance of a big and delicious Pasty. They can even hide in chests or on rare occasions inside of a chest-mimic. On top of that, these creatures can fly.

==== Properties ====
  * **HP**: (3 + current level depth) * 5
  * **Attack Skill**: 9 + current level depth
  * **Defense Skill**: 2 * attack skill / 3
  * **Damage**: hp/10 to hp/4
  * **EXP**: 2 + 2 * (current level depth - 1) / 5
  * **Speed**: 1.25 (faster than normal)
  * **Flight**: Yes (can fly over obstacles)

==== Special Abilities ====
  * **Flight**: Can fly over all types of terrain and obstacles
  * **Mimic Behavior**: Disguises as food to trick players
  * **Rotten Pasty Drop**: Carries a Rotten Pasty in its inventory
  * **Gas Immunity**: Immune to Toxic Gas, Paralysis and Stun effects
  * **No Corpse**: Does not leave a carcass upon death (carcassChance = 0)

==== Mechanics ====
  * The Mimic Pie flies and can move over all types of terrain and obstacles
  * Immune to gas-based attacks (Toxic Gas), paralysis, and stun effects
  * Starts with the Rotten Pasty already in its inventory
  * Stats scale with dungeon depth similar to other enemies
  * When the mimic activates, it doesn't take off at once; if a Mimic Pie appears on a trap or a plant - their flying ability will be activated immediately
  * When this mob activates, the attack button does not appear immediately, but only after clicking once on the screen

==== Strategy ====
  * **Identification**: Be cautious when finding unattended food items in the dungeon, as they may be mimics in disguise
  * **Attack Pattern**: Unlike other enemies, Mimic Pie doesn't behave passively - it will actively hunt the player once activated
  * **Immunities**: Cannot be affected by gas-based attacks, paralysis, or stun effects
  * **Loot**: Will always drop a [[rpd:rotten_food|Rotten Pasty]] upon death, which can be eaten but provides no nutritional value
  * Be cautious around unattended food items in the dungeon, as they may be Mimic Pies in disguise
  * Since it can fly, terrain advantages are less effective against it
  * Gas-based attacks, paralysis, and stun effects won't work against this mob

==== Technical Details ====
  * **Java Class**: [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/actors/mobs/MimicPie.java|MimicPie.java]]
  * **Implementation**: Extends the base Mob class and implements IDepthAdjustable interface
  * **AI State**: Initially passive until triggered, then switches to Hunting behavior
  * **Depth Scaling**: Stats automatically adjust based on dungeon level depth

==== Related Mobs ====
  * [[rpd:mimic|Chest Mimic]] - The more common variant that disguises as treasure chests
  * [[rpd:mimicamulet|Mimic Amulet]] - Another variant of mimic mob

==== Notes ====
Mimic Pie appears as a food item but is actually an enemy. Be careful when finding unattended food items in the dungeon, as they may be mimics in disguise.

Mimic Pie idea and design belongs to Dmitriy Denisov aka ThEnigma314
