Killer Mimic (Mimic fire)

This Killer Mimic creature is found within the Watcher's Keep Machine of Lum the Mad area. 
This creature can be encountered in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal game versions.
==Gameplay==
The creature is invisible until it attacks, and it can't be exposed with illusion penetrating magic such as Invisibility Purge, Oracle or a thief's detect illusion ability.
The creature inhabits an orange tinted metal cabinet, which remains locked until the mimic is dead - however, a Knock spell will "open" the container as long as the creature isn't yet activated - a thief can try to lock pick the container too, but a message will read "The mechanism that operates this does not have a conventional lock and may be warded against simple spells" and the lock pick isn't allowed.
That tactic can be accomplished by a party member that is under the Sanctuary spell, and who can also cast the Knock spell, such as Aerie. If this action is done, the Sanctuary won't end by casting the spell, and the container can be plundered that this mimic inhabits, all without causing the creature to show itself.
When a party member is in detection range any or all of the four unique mimics will launch their opening spell attack ability.
For this particular killer mimic, it is the Mimic Fire.
The creature will attempt this ability once per round as long as it has a detectable target and is still functional.
This creature is stationary and remains within the container it has infiltrated - mimics have poor defenses, and no special immunities.
==Note==
These mimics possess a melee attack weapon but aren't scripted to use it. They attack with spell abilities of various types, even at point blank range.
