Relax folks, these everyday run-of-the-mill objects mean us no harm, so let's all relax right next to them. Can you think of any other items that definitely aren't monsters in disguise? Shout in the comments if so, and enjoy!
Very nice video guys,now let me press that harmless looking like button! Hmmmmmmmm............now why would a like button have teeth and claws? Help !HELP!HEEEEEEEEEEELP............
What about the button on the reception desk of Modern Warfare 2 museum. It literally makes the history of the game very much alive, armed and ready to kill you. Although it should be obvious with every weapon in the game with ammo boxes lying though.
A man walks into a bar, and the bartender asks: what's the shotgun for? The man replied: Mimics The bartender laughed, the man laughed, the barstool laughed, the man shot the barstool.
D&D version is a classic: The bartender asked a group of adventurers: Why are you carrying weapons in a tavern? It's perfectly safe in town. The adventurers replied: Mimics. The bartender laughed, the adventurers laughed, the table laughed, they killed the table, it was a good time!
I've had it happen that a mimic in Prey turned into a "not a mimic" post-it note. It really caught me off guard. Especially since they're technically not supposed to be able to do that.
Amokriin Prolgiid clearly mimics arent as dumb as they seem. This begs the question of how the older mimics taught younger mimics what the papers were for. Older mimics could have seen the humans putting sticky rectangles with markings on them, and the humans not being wary around these flimsy rectangles with markings, and so copied them
Granted, when you kill the mimic it becomes a save point -- without the healing proprieties. And I recall one in a story dungeon right before a boss fight. THANKS, Square.
There's also the trick save point in FF7. It's not a monster, and it does let you save. However, the progress you're trying to save is lost the instant you open the menu.
I'm assuming the piano must have just made a post credits jump scare. After all, there is no way you could make a list like this and not include that piano.
I honestly missed the Master Ball because of this in the 3rd Gen games. I was getting tired of facing Electrodes and figured I got everything of value. ...Turns out, I missed one.
That's why the Mines in Stardew Valley are so great: everything appears to be what it is. Slimes are slimes, bats are bats, and stones are definitely not horrible rock crab monsters hoping to feast on your feet.
Cappy from Mario Odyssey is a hat that mind controls things by sitting on their head. and where is he for the whole game? on Mario's head. cappy is actually a monster.
Cappy helps Mario help him though so there are good things to it. Also that’s just a theory. A their only backed up by the myth and the fact cappy is a ghost.
If you're going to share that, then remember to also let the players know about the pet Gun Mimic my group likes to chuck into enemy armories to eat all their weapons.

I actually have some funny evil door stories from D&D. In one campaign, we had a paladin die to a door mimic, and when we got a level twenty cleric to resurrect him, they told him not to die a dumb way again. He then proceeds to nearly bash his skull in less then a day later tripping over his own feet. There's a running bet in the party that he's going to die again to tripping and falling, or something equally embarrassing. The second story is from a recent dungeon crawl I did with my siblings. My little brother was a rogue, and while the doors weren't mimics they were trapped to high heaven, and his perception checks were bad enough that he kept missing them. About halfway through the dungeon, his character becomes paranoid that the doors are out to get him, so the rest of us have to either try unlocking the doors with his thieve's tools, or just bust them down, which is made much harder when we come across the metal doors. We've left the dungeon, but his character now has a permanent fear of doors that has kind of become a running joke for our group.
LEAVE A PILE OF LEAVES IN CASE THERES A HEDGEHOG LIVING IN THERE?!?! I'm from Australia. Here you leave a pile of leaves alone in case there's a hoard of temperamental spiders trying to mind their own business. As the best case scenario.
I live in Arkansas in the US. Here we have Tarantulas. Guess what Tarantulas do to make cozy little houses for themselves? That's right!... they collect dead leaves and web them together. So yeah, if the leaves are stuck together you should probably leave them alone.
im not surprised dark souls was even in this list considering that even blood stains can kill you you dont open chests CHESTS OPEN YOU!!! you know this morning i turned on my pc and all of a suden my mouse attacked
@@zeallust8542 poorly placed blood stains can keep you from interacting with things like ladders (example: the ladder to get to Midir's boss room in ds3, where if you fall from the very top is a guaranteed death)

Baby hedgehogs in leaf piles? This is how you know England is a magical land of whimsy and wonder. Growing up in Central Arkansas, we avoided leaf piles because of the copperheads, cottonmouths, and rattlesnakes. All very venomous snakes who would lie in wait in said leaf piles and brush with murderous intent...
Oof, yes, all of this and more! Also, In northern Arkansas, moving ANY leaves gives you a chance to be bitten by a centipede, and they hurt a lot. Some of them have venom, too, although they’re not lethal (thankfully.) They’ll scare your pants off, too.
Kaylee DracoWing Now that you mention it, I vaguely recall being bitten by a centipede as a kid. Most of my memories are very fuzzy from back then though.
Im surprised Ellen let Luke talk about dark souls I guess next video will feature a game Ellen loves though I cannot put my finger on what game it would be
What about the Voltorb / Electrod in the early Pokemon games? Due to game limitation, they were hidden as items on the ground. Then you come to get that sweet loot and the second after, you were blown up by bombs.
Hmm, let's see... harmless items... stone blocks in Minecraft. Especially the ones in strongholds, that take a bit longer to break, but are utterly normal! They definitely don't house swarms of enough tiny monsters to take out a fully-armored player in seconds...
You talk about Fallout 4 Far Harbor but not about that Totally Normal Lobster Grill Van That Definitely Doesn't Contain A Giant Hermit Crab, So Don't Worry?
Yeah! Solaire is pure and nothing bad ever happens to him! (Don’t advance his storyline if you want to remain happy. And don’t tell Luke what happens either)
Ayakkusu McGill, which guild? I haven't played the first game yet, I've only seen eurogamers video play through and read about stuff in the game. I want to get the remastered version this year
If you get the Chaos Servants to +2 you can unlock a secret shortcut that allows you to kill the Sunlight Maggot before it gets to Solaire. That or you can cheese it with Poison Mist.
It gets even more fun in Dragon Quest since there are so many Mimics they have multiple monster types. ua-cam.com/video/Ag0aY9h32yQ/v-deo.html On the up side in the Dragon Quest monsters games you can catch them instead of killing them.

How could you guys go with Fallout 4's Glow Anglers instead of Swan? A Super Mutant Behemoth disguised as a Swan boat in a pond in a park that only attacks when you step foot in the pond. He draws you in with the promise that there mite be something valuable hidden within this harmless little swan boat, but the second you surrender to your curiosity it kills you, quickly.
Banjo Kazooie contained some mistaken objects. In Mad Monster Mansion some of the tombstones would actually be monsters. In Rusty Bucket Bay, some of the ship pipes were some creepy monster that tries to bite you if you got close. Then in Banjo Tooie they introduced the fake Jinjo known as Minjos.
What about the Stone Talus from Breath of the Wild? You see a large rock on the Great Plateau and decide to approach carrying your finest twigs and rusty sword. Suddenly a rumbling happens and oops “Game Over.” I just wanted rock salt to make my stew taste better.
Also those octopus thi- I mean totally normal objects you find lying around. Like that rock, or that bush, or those water weed things, or that buried treasure chest. No way these objects would randomly turn out to be giant rock-shooting octopus when you approach, nope, no way at all. And, of course, there is absolutely, no way at all that these cool-looking rusty relic things would secretly be working laser turrets ready to blast your face off. Nope, no way at all.
10:29 “Neat, a treasure chest.” “That’s clearly a trap. Think about it, who would leave treasure just lying around outside?” 11:28 “What is wrong with you?” “If there’s a treasure chest, I open it. I can’t help it.” “Okay. Let’s see how long you survive with that strategy.”
Power Up. Super Metroid. The Chozo helpfully created power ups for Samus's suit. These are often held cradled in the hands of a Chozo statue. All you need to do is take it. ...well? Go on...take it...
Bit of an throwback but what about the Dragon in Perfect Dark? You'd be running around in multiplayer, looking for a gun and see a Dragon, just lying there. You'd run over to it, only to discover it was a proximity mine. The Dragon's alternate fire mode. Ruthless.
Good old Spoony taught me that in Ultima 3 the floor is your enemy. In another area even the grass will try to kill you. Not an animated plant monster or a giant venus flytrap, just the grass.
Mimics aren't all bad! They cured me of my kleptomania! Well...mostly. Now I just smash everything with a wrench before quietly scooping the pieces into my pack...
What if a group of mimics decided to disguise themselves as pieces of a mug and then just hung out together? You could potentially have thousands of them in your bag by now
Blood stains in the souls series, they are full of valuable information and tips, it's okay if they're in dangerous, hard to reach places, that just means that the info it has is better, right? Right? RIGHT? :""v
Golden chests in snowy regions in botw are perfectly safe. Ignore the fact that they aren’t affected by magnesis or statsis and just open them! The tentacles are perfectly normal I assure you.
Rupee Likes, anyone? There I was, merrily gathering up Rupees, and suddenly one of them turns into a monster and starts guzzling the contents of my wallet! Word to the wise, folks: never pick up a jewel on the ground... at least not without first throwing a boomerang at it.
Girlfriend: Why don't you trust me?! Me: Trust you?! ..Like i trusted Al Mualim?! Like i trusted Patches in the Catacombs?! *runs away naked crying and screaming*.
There were Mimics as harmless looking chests in Dark Cloud 1 and 2, and Neverwinter, but those weren't as scary as the ones in Dark Souls...holy shit! 😨😓
How about that sword you find at the beginning of Dark Souls 3, you know, the one lodged in a very large fellows chest. You get a cool sword, and nothing bad happens. At all. Or that tree in the Undead Settlement of Dark Souls 3 in the back of that room with the cultists. Grand old time, that was.
A chill video about everyday mundane objects in video games that are completely harmless? Whew, guess I can relax and unwind for this video as there will be absolutely nothing scary scary or threatening within it whatsoever. Later- Oh come on guys, did you really have to make the VIDEO a mimic? I most certainly didn't expect that!DX
There was that big harmless wall in Final Fantasy 7. You know, the one near the end of the Temple of the Ancients. Good old reliable, safe, wall... with arms... and a face. OH NO!
god I was stuck on that wall boss for like 5 months as a kid, didn't have the patience to just step back and level up as a kid, so I tried for like 5 months until.... I finally lucked out and dodged JUST the right amount of attacks lol
I made the mistake to have Vincent in my party during that fight, his demon form only used fire magic which healed the wall. It was like hitting my head against a...um...well wall.
mimics can be anything air,oxygen,a post it note reading "not a mimic",the dungeon master,a cool looking chest,the main villains' armor,your hair,the chair your sitting on.
Benjadict-Lowerdick The amount of times I did this, especially when my mum sends me to look for something in her room. Once, she'd even redecorated so it wouldn't be so easy for me to stub my toe. However, she didn't tell me about it so when I went into her room during a blackout looking for a flashlight I bent down to sit on the bed and look for it in the bedside drawer as normal...except the bed wasn't there anymore!
I'm not sure if that counts. My first time seeing the game I expected all the zombies to get up by very nature of what they are. Also they LOOK like zombies. Not harmless objects.
I remember playing the Resident Evil remake on my Gamecube a long time ago. I remember passing those dead zombies I personally murdered. I did NOT know that I had to re-murder them say after an hour of backtracking throughout the dang Mansion. When the first encountered the Crimson zombies I watched one get back up with ease. I thought to myself, "Hey, man! Didn't I just get done killing you not too long ago?". I watch within seconds as he practically teleports to me and eviscerates my character. I said aloud, "What the fuck?!", as my character's head went bowling. Nice surprise, Capcom... good one...
Adam Gray I was suspicious because zombies always disappeared when you killed them before upon leaving the room. Isn't there also a note that tells you about crimson zombies you can find before any of them even activate?
I once ran a D&D session with a Library full of Mimics disguised as books. However I also had a room full of harmless bean bag chairs for them to Sit and rela- OH CRIT! One of the chairs just ate our bard!
Fun fact: in the classic novel Dracula by Bram Stoker the count is described as being clean-shaven... except for a long mustache, a depiction that almost no reference to the novel followed. (with one notable exception of Christopher Lee's depiction in a movie)
I remember my first playthrough of Symphony of the Night, my big brother was watching me play. When I saw the bright purple ball/coffin: "I have a bad feeling about this." Then Succubus appears : "Nope." And then after the fight: "Ha! Told ya there was something fishy going on." My brother was proud ^^
The chest's in Borderlands. They're all great, just 1 button press and they open and give you that lovely loot, ammo, guns, nades, shields. All through the game the chests are always great and give lovely loot. Aside from the occasional one that betrays you by only giving you Common Items, but it is randomised so it'll happen, and they make up for it by giving you great Rare loot sometimes. Then you get to Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. All the chests look like proper fantasy ones, this is cool you think as you throw open a chest, or spend Elerium to roll d20's to open the chest. You get to a certain room with 3 Chest's in it. Cool, you think, i just got through a nails boss fight. I was only expecting 2 chests since that's the standard, but hey, this is Tiny Tina's game, i'm not arguing. Open 1 chest, get a cool Fireball grenade, go to the 2nd one, pretty good loot, not as good as what you currently have though, still good money when you get to the next vender. Then the final chest, what loot will you have for me oh final 3rd chest. Fully jumped out of my chair when the damn chest started attacking me. I shot every chest i found after that.
Or even rolling a 1 on a Tina chest. I still get PTSD from my Borderlands 2 gambling addiction at Moxxi's every time I get a critical fail on one of them things.
Toe Jam & Earl has those perfectly ordinary mailboxes. You use them to purchase useful items, so they're always a welcome sight and never turn out to be really fast monsters in disguise.

Speaking of staring at the sun too long, I thought the Angry Sun from "Super Mario Bros. 3" was supposed to be harmless at first. It was somewhat bizarre that the sun stayed in the same fixed place as Mario crossed the desert, but I, in my naïveté, chalked it up to limited cartridge memory. What a shock, then, when this same sun suddenly sprouted sinister sunglasses and swooped down upon my sorry self, chasing me across the level until I finally reached the end and could say goodbye to his silly schemes. It's one of the most novel, and by extension iconic, enemy designs in early gaming history. Truly Mario 3 is the Dark Souls of the late 80s?
Ludex gundyr “Oh hey a statue, oh cool I get a swor- HOLY *You Died* “ He may be the 1st boss of dark souls 3 but it took me about an hour to kill that freak.

Baby hedgehogs in leaf piles? This is how you know England is a magical land of whimsy and wonder. Growing up in Central Arkansas, we avoided leaf piles because of the copperheads, cottonmouths, and rattlesnakes. All very venomous snakes who would lie in wait in said leaf piles and brush with murderous intent...
Don't forget the Tarantulas! Tarantulas actually MAKE leaf piles and web them together just to have places to hide!
Mar Hawkman Shhh....you'll give Ellen nightmares... *loudly* YES, I WOULD LIKE A GLASS OF WATER! THANK YOU, GOOD SIR!
Oof, yes, all of this and more! Also, In northern Arkansas, moving ANY leaves gives you a chance to be bitten by a centipede, and they hurt a lot. Some of them have venom, too, although they’re not lethal (thankfully.) They’ll scare your pants off, too.
Kaylee DracoWing Now that you mention it, I vaguely recall being bitten by a centipede as a kid. Most of my memories are very fuzzy from back then though.
probably too much centipede venom. :/
Where's the piano from Mario 64?
I think that one might have been... Over-played ^_^

What about the Voltorb / Electrod in the early Pokemon games? Due to game limitation, they were hidden as items on the ground. Then you come to get that sweet loot and the second after, you were blown up by bombs.

Hmm, let's see... harmless items... stone blocks in Minecraft. Especially the ones in strongholds, that take a bit longer to break, but are utterly normal! They definitely don't house swarms of enough tiny monsters to take out a fully-armored player in seconds...
This must have been an expensive episode: four broken mugs, and a broken window. 🤑
And, by the looks of it, Luke's spirit was broken too.
Dark Jackel are you sure its not actually 4 dead Mimics and a broken window?
ThePyrodar Mimics only shatter if they've been covered in Gloo, though... wait. 🤔
Dark Jackel Fun fact: the oxbox and oxtra team put a layer of Gloo on literally everything in the studio in response to... the incident.
And presumably a broken Ellen after the window.

James Chamblee remember u can avoid that if u pick the guild with that secret passage
Ayakkusu McGill, which guild? I haven't played the first game yet, I've only seen eurogamers video play through and read about stuff in the game. I want to get the remastered version this year
If you get the Chaos Servants to +2 you can unlock a secret shortcut that allows you to kill the Sunlight Maggot before it gets to Solaire. That or you can cheese it with Poison Mist.
Dafydd Williams, thanks. I'll keep that in mind when I get it
It gets even more fun in Dragon Quest since there are so many Mimics they have multiple monster types. ua-cam.com/video/Ag0aY9h32yQ/v-deo.html

How could you guys go with Fallout 4's Glow Anglers instead of Swan? A Super Mutant Behemoth disguised as a Swan boat in a pond in a park that only attacks when you step foot in the pond. He draws you in with the promise that there mite be something valuable hidden within this harmless little swan boat, but the second you surrender to your curiosity it kills you, quickly.
*go's to save point to make sure you are safe... OH GOD NO.
The trick to Anglers: VATS-scanning whenever you get near water. Also near pesky vans and trucks that totally aren't hermit crabs...
Banjo Kazooie contained some mistaken objects.
In Mad Monster Mansion some of the tombstones would actually be monsters.
In Rusty Bucket Bay, some of the ship pipes were some creepy monster that tries to bite you if you got close.
Then in Banjo Tooie they introduced the fake Jinjo known as Minjos.
Tooie even had a boss disguised as Mumbo.

Also those octopus thi- I mean totally normal objects you find lying around.
Like that rock, or that bush, or those water weed things, or that buried treasure chest.
No way these objects would randomly turn out to be giant rock-shooting octopus when you approach, nope, no way at all.
And, of course, there is absolutely, no way at all that these cool-looking rusty relic things would secretly be working laser turrets ready to blast your face off. Nope, no way at all.

Bit of an throwback but what about the Dragon in Perfect Dark?
You'd be running around in multiplayer, looking for a gun and see a Dragon, just lying there.
You'd run over to it, only to discover it was a proximity mine. The Dragon's alternate fire mode.
Ruthless.
Why is that weapon not in Gmod TTT yet?!

His reaction to the angler was exactly my reaction.
Good old Spoony taught me that in Ultima 3 the floor is your enemy. In another area even the grass will try to kill you. Not an animated plant monster or a giant venus flytrap, just the grass.
Mimics aren't all bad! They cured me of my kleptomania! Well...mostly. Now I just smash everything with a wrench before quietly scooping the pieces into my pack...
Frederick Wyman does anyone eles think the mimics in Prey look *VERY* similar to Headcrabs especially the poison ones?
What if a group of mimics decided to disguise themselves as pieces of a mug and then just hung out together? You could potentially have thousands of them in your bag by now

As a D&D games master mimics are AWESOME!
There were Mimics as harmless looking chests in Dark Cloud 1 and 2, and Neverwinter, but those weren't as scary as the ones in Dark Souls...holy shit! 😨😓
'You win this round, nature...'
And with that, Luke begins his transformation into a Captain Planet villain.
what was more surprising; Cave Story being mentioned here or Andy saying 'bullshit' without censor?
How about that sword you find at the beginning of Dark Souls 3, you know, the one lodged in a very large fellows chest. You get a cool sword, and nothing bad happens. At all.
Or that tree in the Undead Settlement of Dark Souls 3 in the back of that room with the cultists. Grand old time, that was.
Wait, who would even considered the big guy in armor in the middle of arena in Dark Souls as something harmless?
@@Karak-_-
Not him, the sword. After all, it's just a sword. And there are absolutely no negative consequences for taking it.
A chill video about everyday mundane objects in video games that are completely harmless? Whew, guess I can relax and unwind for this video as there will be absolutely nothing scary scary or threatening within it whatsoever.
Later-
Oh come on guys, did you really have to make the VIDEO a mimic? I most certainly didn't expect that!DX

The faceless in XCOM 2 who disguise themselves as the very civilians you're sent in to rescue
There was that big harmless wall in Final Fantasy 7. You know, the one near the end of the Temple of the Ancients. Good old reliable, safe, wall... with arms... and a face. OH NO!
Its Final Fantasy 4 cousin is worse. Especially in the 3D remake.
Or that extra safe flying city in FFX....
god I was stuck on that wall boss for like 5 months as a kid, didn't have the patience to just step back and level up as a kid, so I tried for like 5 months until.... I finally lucked out and dodged JUST the right amount of attacks lol
I made the mistake to have Vincent in my party during that fight, his demon form only used fire magic which healed the wall. It was like hitting my head against a...um...well wall.
mimics can be anything air,oxygen,a post it note reading "not a mimic",the dungeon master,a cool looking chest,the main villains' armor,your hair,the chair your sitting on.
Just like my bedside table, that first appears completely harmless until i walk into it at 3am and stub my toe
Benjadict-Lowerdick The amount of times I did this, especially when my mum sends me to look for something in her room. Once, she'd even redecorated so it wouldn't be so easy for me to stub my toe. However, she didn't tell me about it so when I went into her room during a blackout looking for a flashlight I bent down to sit on the bed and look for it in the bedside drawer as normal...except the bed wasn't there anymore!
Dead zombies in resident evil remake that become crimson would they count as harmless looking items which turn deadlu
Dragon Hindi X like the edad guy outiside the save room that after like the 100th time you pass him suddenly stands up
I'm not sure if that counts. My first time seeing the game I expected all the zombies to get up by very nature of what they are. Also they LOOK like zombies. Not harmless objects.
the corpses of the flood from halo on that note
I remember playing the Resident Evil remake on my Gamecube a long time ago. I remember passing those dead zombies I personally murdered. I did NOT know that I had to re-murder them say after an hour of backtracking throughout the dang Mansion. When the first encountered the Crimson zombies I watched one get back up with ease. I thought to myself, "Hey, man! Didn't I just get done killing you not too long ago?". I watch within seconds as he practically teleports to me and eviscerates my character. I said aloud, "What the fuck?!", as my character's head went bowling.
Nice surprise, Capcom... good one...
Adam Gray I was suspicious because zombies always disappeared when you killed them before upon leaving the room. Isn't there also a note that tells you about crimson zombies you can find before any of them even activate?
I once ran a D&D session with a Library full of Mimics disguised as books. However I also had a room full of harmless bean bag chairs for them to Sit and rela- OH CRIT! One of the chairs just ate our bard!

Fun fact: in the classic novel Dracula by Bram Stoker the count is described as being clean-shaven... except for a long mustache, a depiction that almost no reference to the novel followed. (with one notable exception of Christopher Lee's depiction in a movie)
I remember my first playthrough of Symphony of the Night, my big brother was watching me play. When I saw the bright purple ball/coffin: "I have a bad feeling about this." Then Succubus appears : "Nope." And then after the fight: "Ha! Told ya there was something fishy going on." My brother was proud ^^

The chest's in Borderlands. They're all great, just 1 button press and they open and give you that lovely loot, ammo, guns, nades, shields.
All through the game the chests are always great and give lovely loot.
Aside from the occasional one that betrays you by only giving you Common Items, but it is randomised so it'll happen, and they make up for it by giving you great Rare loot sometimes.
Then you get to Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep.
All the chests look like proper fantasy ones, this is cool you think as you throw open a chest, or spend Elerium to roll d20's to open the chest.
You get to a certain room with 3 Chest's in it. Cool, you think, i just got through a nails boss fight. I was only expecting 2 chests since that's the standard, but hey, this is Tiny Tina's game, i'm not arguing.
Open 1 chest, get a cool Fireball grenade, go to the 2nd one, pretty good loot, not as good as what you currently have though, still good money when you get to the next vender. Then the final chest, what loot will you have for me oh final 3rd chest.
Fully jumped out of my chair when the damn chest started attacking me.
I shot every chest i found after that.
Or even rolling a 1 on a Tina chest. I still get PTSD from my Borderlands 2 gambling addiction at Moxxi's every time I get a critical fail on one of them things.
"Spend Elerium".
BRB, GONNA GO REPLAY XCOM FOR THE FIFTIETH TIME

Those are great though. You get mad loots from them.

Speaking of staring at the sun too long, I thought the Angry Sun from "Super Mario Bros. 3" was supposed to be harmless at first. It was somewhat bizarre that the sun stayed in the same fixed place as Mario crossed the desert, but I, in my naïveté, chalked it up to limited cartridge memory. What a shock, then, when this same sun suddenly sprouted sinister sunglasses and swooped down upon my sorry self, chasing me across the level until I finally reached the end and could say goodbye to his silly schemes. It's one of the most novel, and by extension iconic, enemy designs in early gaming history. Truly Mario 3 is the Dark Souls of the late 80s?
