These monsters, usually found within dungeons, take the form of a treasure chest and attack the player upon attempting to open it. Defeating the mimic generally rewards the player with an item, which differs from game to game. | Mimics were first introduced in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest III}}'', and have appeared in every mainline game since then.

Mimics have a chance of appearing on the stage [[Yggdrasil's Altar]]. Just like in their home series, mimics take the form of a regular treasure chest, and when the player tries to open it, they'll attack. Defeating the mimic results in a random item to be dropped. | Mimics have a chance of appearing on the stage [[Yggdrasil's Altar]].
