Summary 0003768: Item mimics change type when they teleport.
Description I just found an armour mimic and IMBed it to make it go away, and shortly thereafter I found it again (I could tell it was the same one because it was injured the right amount), except it had become a scroll mimic.

 This is working as designed -- in fact, there is special code to ensure just that.

The code has mimics for various item types as different monster types only because you currently can't have the same monster show different glyphs.

Actually, I recentlish coded the latter for merged slime creatures so it is possible to merge all item mimics into one.

 I considered that it was possibly desired, but it feels quite strange now that mimics are described as "armour mimic" and "scroll mimic" and such in-game, since that suggests that they are different types of mimic rather than the same type of creature mimicking different types of items. Maybe call them "mimic (armour)" or even "mimic (glowing gold dragon armour)"?

 item mimics don't teleport and change anymore.
