Pixel Art Creature Sprite - Malevolent Mimic
A downloadable asset pack
This is a simple animated mimic chest for an RPG (action or turn-based combat) or adventure game. The mimic is around 32 pixels high but is not limited to that space. Each frame is centered in a 64x64 pixel cell on the sprite sheet. Each sheet is 256x256 in total and comes in SEVEN unique color variants. It comes with the following animations:
- 4-frame hopping idle/move cycle
- 2-frame attack
- 1-frame "got hit"
Note: the move/attack animations come in 2 directions (up-angle and down-angle), which can be flipped to represent movement in any direction.
This asset also includes a 4-frame peeking eye animation if you want to provide observant players with a hint that they're facing a mimic. Or you can just use the non-mimic chest variant (open and closed frames) for regular treasures.
Additionally, you can choose from four different visual variants (perhaps as higher-level monsters):
- One-eyed mimic (basic version)
- Two-horned mimic
- Multi-eyed mimic
- Horned and multi-eyed mimic
But wait, there's more! I've also included a 48x48 portrait for character dialogue, and a full sprite image for bestiary listings in both 64x64 and 128x128, each in all 7 color swaps. These images are based on high-res art from Kendall Hale (go check him out).
New in version 2.0: A Secret of Mana-inspired 6-frame explosion animation and assorted bone particle sprites for use when your monster dies.
The background used in the preview image is from my Castle Dungeon tileset:
