Also, on note with conversation. Technically the swinging blades and rolling metal balls are obstacles more so then traps. As they have less activation by player and more so setup for you to work yourself around or through.

So in the gaming sense of it all, trap being used loosely here could very easily encompass the floor traps/drops as they fit in with definition of a trap more so then items just mentioned.

And I would consider mimics (and possibly worms?) as traps. Though they are more so classified as enemy/traps they are still activated by interaction with player and catching you unaware. Maybe even the Demonic Statue seeing that they too are somewhat triggered by player and meant to catch you unaware? (though some appear to be wandering?)

While the rolling balls and swinging blades not so much. (though the rolling balls do tend to move based on your characters location they still are relatively setup as obstacles.)
