Mimic Chest

The mimic chest icon represents a type of treasure chest often found in fantasy games, particularly in tabletop role-playing games and video games. It symbolizes mystery and potential danger. Mimic chests are notorious for their ability to masquerade as ordinary chests, only to attack unsuspecting adventurers. The icon is used to represent a challenge or a potential threat in a game. The mimic chest originates from Dungeons & Dragons, a popular tabletop RPG.

In software and game development, the mimic chest icon may be used in games or applications that feature fantasy or adventure elements. For example, it could appear in a game menu to represent a treasure chest that contains a surprise or a challenge. Developers may also use this icon in user interfaces to indicate a potential threat or a mysterious object.

From a UX perspective, the mimic chest icon communicates a sense of caution or uncertainty. When users encounter this icon, they may be alerted to a potential danger or a challenge that requires their attention. The icon's design should be clear and recognizable, conveying a sense of mystery and potential threat.

Mimic Chest is one of 4,123 icons in Game Icons, made by GameIcons and released under CC BY 3.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds MimicChestIcon to components/icons/game-icons-mimic-chest.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed MimicChestIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Mimic Chest icon, or any of 4,123 Game Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Mimic Chest", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. MimicChestIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <MimicChestIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
