The '''mimic''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.

Introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}, they are monstrous [[treasure chest]]s of a sickly color.

Essentially, mimics are advanced forms of [[Cannibox]]es. Where the lesser form typically uses {{Desperate attack}}s, the mimic will cast sudden-death spells in an effort to outright kill a [[party]] member, though it normally only has enough {{MP}} to perform the spell once. Usually lying in wait under the guise of a normal [[treasure chest]], some installments and/or remakes of the series have had Mimics as random [[encounter]] {{MFamilies}}s.

}}*Mimics can be found in various [[treasure chest]]s around the world and from random encounters at the [[Malign Shrine]]. The Mimic has a rare chance of dropping a Mimic Heart, which allows a {{Party 7}} member to become a Mimic if it is taken to the {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}.
