Mimic is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is a stronger version of Cannibox.
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, with the exception of Dragon Quest VIII's 3DS remake and Dragon Quest X's Pyramid.

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.
