I realized after a moment that they simply meant “everyone in the castle attacks you”, but my first thought was of the castle itself rising up as a mecha like Alexander from FF9.
A powerful summoner should have no issue binding enough mimics to make up for each brick, stone and interior detail of a castle, only needing to conjure some slimes for mortar and elementals for lighting, heat, AC (air and ice for summer, air and fire for winter) plus enough water elementals to have running plumbing. Just a matter of time and focus
Just a bit heavy on the initiative tracking, but the castle would probably not need any extra guards

…could you have a castle mimic?

“These enemies attack and initiate as a group, taking a 5% penalty to calculated damage to account for missed hits in the group”
I would go with Permanency and Enlarge or Giantism spells. Just need a single absolutely enormous mimic.
