Not to be confused with Shadow Key.

The Ornate Shadow Key is a pet-summoning item that spawns a pet Shadow Mimic to follow the player. When the player is far enough away or in midair, the Shadow Mimic propels itself by spinning towards them while emitting a trail of purple flames. It will also occasionally spit out non-collectible cosmetic coins. The Ornate Shadow Key has a 1/10 (10%) chance of being obtained from Shadow Chests and a 1/20 (5%) chance of being obtained from Obsidian Crates and Hellstone Crates.

Pet Shadow Mimic spitting non-collectible coins.

Trivia

  • The Shadow Mimic pet is slightly smaller than Shadow Chests and real Shadow Mimics.
  • Despite appearing to be a Shadow Key, it cannot open Shadow Chests. It is simply an item designed after it.
  • While flying, the pet Shadow Mimic will emit a soft, purple light. This can be useful for players without a light pet.
  • Using dyes on the Shadow Mimic pet can make it look like other types of Mimics.
