Mimic/Paradox

"The treasure chest was a Mimic!"

Beware of any treasure chests you find in Paradox for they might just be a hungry enemy.

Biography
Mimics are found throughout Paradox after you find the first one in the Treasure Cave corresponding to the first encounter in the original trilogy.

Battle Overview
Mimics are quite tough at lower levels and the unprepared adventure might just been in for a bad time. They have same amount of health as Queen Harpy but more status resistances and de-buffs making them akin to a mini-boss so make sure you're prepared before opening every treasure chest once you get to the Treasure Cave.

They have quite a few deadly spells, notably Death, so silence is effective for removing most of their offensive capabilities. They are also quite weak to holy making it your best bet for damaging their large health pool quickly. However, their most dangerous skill is Surprise Box which will stun your whole team leaving you open for Mimic Boa next turn. Mimic Boa inflicts instant Predation on stunned enemies killing them instantly. But unlike other instant kills like Death, a party member killed by Predation cannot be revived until after the battle. Companions with high stun resistance are recommended or use moves that can disable her actions.
