Booby Trapped Chests / Transform into Mimic

With recent improvements to Magic and Rare Chests in Patch 0.2.0g, I would like to propose that Magic and Rare Chests also have chance to be booby trapped. Booby trapped chests embody surprise, unpredictability and risk vs. reward that perfectly aligns with PoE2’s philosophy. Upon opening a booby trapped chest, one of the following things could happen (includes visual telegraph):

* Chest ignites and burns
* Chest drops grenade on ground
* Chest expels poison cloud
* Chest unleashes fireball
* Chest transforms into Mimic (unique monster)

As a unique monster, Mimics could drop a unique item or additional currency. I think Mimics would fit into Wraeclast’s dark history and lore. Sometimes a chest is just a chest, but don't count on it.

There's already enough One Shots in the game, no?

It's not going to one-shot you, but rather do minimal damage. It just adds a little bit of surprise when you open a chest.

So... a strongbox? Or am I misunderstanding

Not sure, maybe just the normal, magic and rare chests. It just adds an element of surprise.

Added chest can transform into Mimic (new unique monster) in OP.
