The initial confrontation would be in a room containing a large number of statues and a cocatrice leashed to a throne at the back of the room. The mimic would either be one of the statues, or the throne, waiting to release the cocatrice or grab anyone who sits down. I was thinking that later, the mimic could become the leader of a tribe of ogres, taking the shape of an ogre statue present in the initial room. A third encounter would involve him posing as part of a cavern roof, and using his reach to grapple ranged combattants while avoiding the melee fighters. Any thoughts or contributions?

Maybe drop enough clues that they find out who he really is, something like that, a curve ball, that they really didn't see coming.

I can see it now - a spellcaster of some sort, probably a sorcerer, that casts all spells with silent spell and potentially still spell. Imagine it - he starts doing the traditional imaginary wall mime trick, and SHAZAM - a wall of force.
