The '''Fortunetelling mimic''', also known as the '''Lucky lurker''', is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, mainly appearing in spinoff games in the series. It is a special variety of [[Mimic]] that tells people's fortunes and can give out various prizes.

==Characteristics==
Fortunetelling mimics, unlike their more traditional [[Material family|treasure chest]]-shaped cousins, are red wooden boxes with gold borders that open up to reveal a set of sharp fangs, a pair of eyes glowing from the darkness, and a long purple tongue. The front of the box displays the [[Wikipedia:Kyūjitai|kyūjitai]] form of the kanji ''[[Wiktionary:福#Japanese|fuku]]'' (福), which means "good fortune" or "good luck". The mimic will reward the player based on the luck of their fortune.

Fortunetelling mimic can be faced in the 1-Year Anniversary and New Year Fortune Quests. Depending on the fortune outcome, the mimic can either summon a [[Cannibox]] for "Eventually Lucky", [[Goodybag]] for "Moderately Lucky", or [[Bag o' sweets]] for "Extra Lucky", then flees immediately, or if the player's fortune is "Mindini Lucky", it will face the player itself. Completing the quest will reward the player with 5,000 [[Gold]], 5 EXP Codex Ls, 5 Skip Tickets, and some Gems. The amount of Gems is based on how lucky the player is, ranging from 100 to 300.

==Etymology==
The fortunetelling mimic is based on ''[[Wikipedia:O-mikuji|omikuji]]'', which are random fortunes written on paper slips at Buddhist and Shinto temples in Japan. They can be received by making a small offering and randomly choosing one from a box, hoping that the resulting fortune will be good. Most people will go for omikujis during ''[[Wikipedia:Hatsumōde|Hatsumōde]]'', which is the first visit to a Buddhist temple or Shinto shrine visit made during the new year. The best possible result is ''daikichi'' ((大吉), meaning great blessing. If a person receives a bad fortune, they can tie it to a tree in hopes that its prediction will not come true.
