For the monster class in Dragon Quest VII, see Mimic (Vocation).

The mimic is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, they are typically monstrous treasure chests of a sickly color.

Characteristics

Essentially, mimics are advanced forms of canniboxes. Where the lesser form typically uses desperate attacks, 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 of the series have had mimics as random encounter monsters.

Description Those who weather the storm of these bedeviled boxes' Chilly Breath still have to worry about Whack and critical attacks.
Their appetites are insatiable, and the souls of those they swallow stay in their bottomless, boxy bellies forever.

Dragon Quest Monsters

Mimics may appear in the more advanced worlds, either disguised as a chest on the field or hiding amongst other chests, and possibly other mimics, in treasure rooms. A mimic can be bred by using a material pedigree and a box slime mate.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2

Randomly appearing chests in dungeons will often turn out to be mimics. The material and box slime pairing still applies when breeding for one.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional

Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime

Mimics are among the ranks of the platiosi in the Plob, appearing in numerous stages as standard chests until approached. They can provide interesting roles in tank battles by either fetching ammo for the player or infiltrating the enemy tank to rattle the enemy by imitating a chest.
