You ever wonder how mimics would survive in a world with out adventurers?
I wanted to share a couple of good mimic shape ideas...
A suit of strange looking armor- it speaks softly, in dwarven- praising Moradin that finally a dwarf worthy of donning him is here- the armor is a heavy suit of half plate....after being donned- it begins to eat the hapless adventurer...
a small bridge over a deep pit, or section of broken stairs
a small boat...in deep water do you kill it or make a deal with it?
I was thinking about a mimic who is bored of the dungeon life so becomes some sort of item and joins an adventuring party.

That's a hilarious idea! I <3 mimics. My favorite mimic moment ever was when a mimic assumed the appearance of a mirror in a castle that, so far, had been filled with illusions cast by the wizard the party was after. When they saw the mirror on the wall of an otherwise dead-end room, the party leader said "It's probably another illusion. I walk through it."
Hilarity.

Maybe a portable battering ram. WHAM! ow. WHAM! ow. Or a backpack, the mimic could hand the owner whatever items he calls for. "Rope!" called the warrior. "Coming up!" comes the cheerful reply from the warriors pack.
I like it, kinda neat idea.FH

There is the problem of mimics being covered in super-sticky slime, however...

I think the stickiness is at will- not constantly- or it would hamper their ability to hide.

Actually, the problem here is that the 'backpack' would still take up 150 cubic feet of space and weigh 4,500 pounds. It might work as the backpack of a giant.. maybe.
I suppose you could reverse apply the size adjustments to make a Tiny or Small mimic...
Make it 1-2 HD (Tiny), 3-4 HD (Small), 5-6 HD (Medium)?
reminds me of "backpack" from Go Diago Go
I <3 mimics.
You are less than three mimics? (Joke!)
Just out of curiosity (don't have my books at the moment), would the half plate thing really work? You'd have to pull it apart to put it on, provided it stopped secreting its adhesive. Can a mimic do that?
I must confess, I have never thrown a mimic or a rust monster at an adventuring party. This must not go on!
What about a mimic in the form of animated full plate wielding an animated object in the form of a Large greatsword, and wearing a cloaker?

That would be so cool. Just to be mean, there could be an invisible stalker inside the mimic armor.

In teh old Dungeon adventure Old Man Katan and the Amazing Mushroom Band there was a mimic that posed as a rowboat and made a living eating some of the fish that were caught by the fisherman that used the rowboat.
