For the sake of custom mimics that also actually move around like mimics, it'd be nice to be able to assign "moving and fighting like the player" (as the default mimic's description says) as a behavior, or something like that.

The "moves like you" part is perfectly tractable in drodscript, but RPG's unique "fights as you" part would be pretty tough, since you'd have to simulate the entire process of combat yourself, or I guess do some really serious trickery with teleporting the player to and from a given position...

Of course one could just set a regular mimic's stats with another character, but this would still be nice for more fully-customized mimics, like maybe one without a sword. Or one with a wood sword so it doesn't disarm on oremites. etc.
