Does any official Adventure include a mimic?

I thought I saw one chapter of an Adventure Path in 1st Edition that includes a mimic. I might be wrong, in which case I don't know if one has ever been in a store-bought adventure.
Does anyone know if a mimic ever shows up, off the tops of your heads? Maybe in a PFS scenario? A module I never bought?


Yes, there is at least one that I know of in 1E. I'll put it under spoilers if you want to know where.

AP spoiler:
There's a mimic in the third volume of Ruins of Azlant.

Thanks for the information. It's probably better if they're used sparingly than too often.

There's 1 in a 2nd edition adventure path.

AP:
Book 1 of Agents of Edgewatch in the Dreaming Palace


There's one in a 1st edition adventure module.

Spoiler:
Chapter 2 of Ire of the Storm.

There's also another one in a 2nd edition adventure path that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Spoiler:
Chapter 2 of Book 1 of Sky King's Tomb.


If I remember correctly,

Spoiler:
there were some nasty Mimics with rouge levels dressing as coffins in Carrion Crown #5, as bate for vampire-slaying parties


I remember one in a PFS scenario, where...

Spoiler:
The adventure site is three weeks' trek from our starting point, and the front door is a mimic which killed the first PC when they tried to pass through it. Leading to another six weeks of trekking in character to get them raised and come back - fortunately, that whole nine weeks only took a couple of minutes IRL.

...but from the description, it might be the same one Kyrand mentioned (and if it is not, I cannot remember what it is called).

To put in perspective:

I'm only representing one person's opinion, but,....

I've been playing since 1981 pretty much non-stop.
I am a self proclaimed expert, and at the very least a zealous afficianado of, published adventures. From the 70s to now I have over 1,000 published adventures and here on The Boards since '05/'06 have posted regularly regarding published adventures,....

The Mimic featured in the adventure aforementioned is the best encounter in D&D history for a Mimic.

If your players have never encountered a Mimic, do NOT waste this brilliancy on them. If they're newer to gaming, save this Mimic encounter for when they are both more experienced and more jaded. But if you're DMing a bunch of Grognards like me, or just cynical gamers that think they've seen it all, use the Mimmic encounter in this adventure,

I actually got to play my PFS PC at PaizoCon with the author of this adventure as the DM:
"Thralls of the Shattered God": PFS 7-17

The real answer is all of them.

Go check your bookshelf carefully.
