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 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.
