You're sitting on it
Devious.
Creates fake religions to get people to pray to it.
Not really an actual God, just a false deity that mindfricks people into worshipping and sacrificing people to it.
Think ones that take the form of gigantic calf idols or statues.

This. The god's idol is the actual mimic. Sometimes worshipers are raptured up to heaven.
Probably like you’re average eldritch-but-dead god by Fromsoftware
The cleric thinks he is paying to one god, but it's a mimic.
Probably the one of patient hunting, or one that hates the greedy.
Pretty sure mimics love the greedy.
Mimics are the spirits of dead bankers
The most popular one
God of mimics? What god of mimics? All I see is this god of fine furniture.
A God of mimicry and disguise.
They can be anything and everything, at any time.
Thus a God of Mimics is the universe itself.
A cloud
Some divine concept of trickery pervading through all kinds of myths without being pinned down easily. Some nameless trickster god, essentially.
Lawful-aligned god who believes in harsh punishments for property crimes. Mimics exist as bait to punish anyone who would steal what does not belong to them, because who else would go poking around in a chest they don't own looking for valuables? Anyone who does so deserves to be eaten, clearly.
The mimics who disguise themselves as chests are effectively religious fundamentalists who adhere to this hardline stance. The mimics who disguise themselves as other objects typically don't hold the same religious views, or are not as fervent in their belief and don't go out of their way to entrap people like that. Some mimics who consider themselves to be 'moderates' will disguise themselves as chests, but locked ones, to prevent curious innocents from getting eaten. After all, someone merely *opening* a chest might have honest intentions, but someone who picks a lock to do so is clearly a criminal.
The God of Mimics is actually all of reality and it has only been pretending to be a physical universe to trick sentient life into evolving to a certain point before it jumps out and devours us.

This is true.
>into evolving to a certain point before it jumps out and devours us
This is... arguable depending on your perspective. Life was created to run simulations for the greater intelligence (all existence will be reabsorbed once complete omnicognition has been achieved}.
Source: it was revealed to me in a vision.
Reminder to præy to the gods.
>assuming they are sentient
Fun fact, the reason mimics have an above average intelligence score in most D&D editions is because their AD&D write up mentioned that not only were they sentient, but they could be quite the conversation partners as well.
The monstrous/animalistic mimics are basically a wizard's experiment gone wrong (or right, depending on the wizard, since the idea was to have ones that could act as sentries, but this cost them their cunning).
The distinguishing feature of mimics is they prey on adventurers greedy mistakes, and are masters of disguise.
I'm picturing Gary Oldman as a banker.
What would a God of Elephants (assuming they talk) be like?
kinda like the other races' gods, except it eats their followers when they fall for it
One of the gods that is commonly worshipped is the mimic god.
You can find an archetype for most things like this in the keys of solomon, its what a ton of early rpg monsters came from.
Dantalion, The Duke of Hell; The Forbidden Librarian and Impostor demon in this case.
Hoards old things, mind-controls/impersonates others, and keeps/reveals secrets.
That'd be the jumping off point for me.
You could even use his book fixation to explain all the forms of mimics, like he keeps a ledger of all things that he presses in the pages like a botanist.
Walked since the dawn of time, plucking up new things and closing them in the book.
Maybe one day he noticed all these odd vermin scurrying around making things and decided to furtively press them in his book.
After all, they were all so different and required careful study to understand.
Collection and cataloging were natural to him but the compulsion to create was alien, almost taboo.
The other primordials took notice when their cousin no longer wandered and collected, and instead cloistered himself away in the earth with his book.
He paid for his sin when his brethren confronted him over
His collection was growing all the same, more and more mismade filth slithered out of it's pages, chimeric abominations once kept in stasis, rites long forgotten and upkeep abandoned in his mania.
His body had been changed, shrunken and frightful, sat in a mire of offal, wreathed in a halo of mangled forms.
The countless doppleganger parts strewn about his dwelling told of attempts to create another primordial.
His book sat splayed before him, baring witness to the depths of his perversion.
This was the sin that ultimately led to his execution by his fellows, a grave taboo among those who came first.
On the day of his execution, the pact that had bound them all up to then had to be broken.
Now that there was a punishment, there had to be a punisher.
The one who would later be known as the god of Headsmen (later Justice and Sacrifice after the schism) took to deviant's life and then his own.
Now once again, none stood before the other.
Thing is, he succeeded.
The twisted wreck they executed was a homunculi, he had long since been cannibalized by his creations before they even noticed anything was wrong.
The second god born that day was the Liar God, many awful things fled that book as it burned.
What do you think sun is OP?
Eberron has the city of Lost, where the entire population is Changelings and Doppelgangers worshipping The Traveler while living in very large shapeshifting autotrophs known as Facades.
The Traveler is essentially an embodiment of change, especially of intellectual sorts with regard to secretive influence or innovation.
In what game?
The Demiurge
literally a mimic god
