Mimic



Mimic is a decently stronger monster, but falls fairly fast to magic. If you're right next to it, you can move to the side quickly to dodge its Walking Water. Ice Knife cannot be dodged.



In the remake, it can hit you from either angle, but it favors using Silence Lv 1. This rarely misses, so your best bet is to run or have far higher agility. Ice Wall usually isn't that damaging, so your physical attack is still worthwhile.

Trivia

 * Mimic is enemy byte value 1 in the coding.
 * Mimics are usually treasure chests or an equivalent to one in various games. Often they're found by attempting to get a chest/similar object and it appearing in its place as some kind of trap.
 * Many of the monsters also have alternate names, like Hidon or Dead Man's Chest as a pun or name joke.
 * Mimic can only be found with itself. It shares this similarity with Cockatrice, Hell Hound, Ghosthound, Pale Rider(Nintendo 64 only), Big Mouth(Nintendo 64 only), Flamed Mane, Hot Lips, Apophis, and Lamia.
 * Cockatrice also shares the distinction of having no item drops in the Nintendo 64 version, and a Spirit Gemstone in the remake.
 * Flamed Mane can be found in a pair, like Mimic can, but both only can be found that way in the Gameboy version.
