The trap box is able to levitate in midair under its own power. The lid of the trap box's treasure chest is split into two and serve as the monster's hands, being used in vicious crushing attacks. From inside of the bottom half of the treasure chest peers out a frightful skeleton with a flexible serpentine spine, horns on either side of its skull, and a sickening tongue even longer than that of a normal mimic's. Despite its skeletal appearance, the trap box still belongs to the [[Material family]] rather than being one of the undead. Much like the other mimics, it can inflict a variety of different [[status effect]]s on unfortunate adventurers including sleep and confusion.
