Mimics are mini-bosses enemies found in the Bank.
Behavior
Mimics disguise themselves in the shop of one of the merchants in the Bank. The merchant will act normal until the player interacts with an item in the shop. Afterwards, the Mimic eats the merchant, consumes the item with its Tongue Lash attack, and proceeds to engage into combat with the player.
When moving around, Mimics will perform a series of hops rather than walking or running. If the player attempts to flee to another platform, the Mimic will catch up quickly, faster than the likes of Rampagers and Slammers.
Once the Mimic is defeated, it will drop an improved version of the item that was bought. If the item was from a skill or weapon shop, it will receive two additional gear levels[a]; if it was from a food shop, its quantity will be doubled.
Only one item can be bought from a Mimic shop as the other items will disappear once the Mimic reveals itself.
Moveset
- Description: Performes a fast bite with very short range.
- Can be parried and dodge rolled.
- Description: Lashes out with its tongue at a medium range, bumping the player upwards and briefly stunning them.
- Can be parried and dodge rolled.
- Description: Uses its chains as a whip, lashing them at the player.
- Can be parried and dodge rolled.
- The hitbox for this attack is far longer than the visible animation suggests.
- Description: Throws the chain towards the player to grab and pull them in. It will root the player for 1.5 seconds if the attack was successful, allowing the Mimic to easily attack the player.
- Can be parried and dodge rolled.
- The Mimic can use any attack after this move, though it will often opt for a Bite or Sword Slash. Faster attacks like the Bite can be performed multiple times
Special moveset
The mimic also has a few special moves it can use depending on what kind of item was bought.
Melee Weapons
- Description: Takes out a large spiky sword and slashes it in front of itself.
- Can be parried and dodge rolled.
- Though slower than the Bite attack, the Sword Slash has more range and deals more damage.
Ranged Weapons
- Description: Spits out a burst of 5 body parts (bones, limbs and brains) in a fan, then spits out another burst of 5 shortly after.
- Can be parried and dodge rolled.
Shields
- Description: Opens its mouth, summoning an ethereal arc in front of it for 1.25 seconds. If the player strikes the front of the Mimic with a melee attack during this time, the Mimic will parry the attack, stunning the player for 0.8 seconds and slightly knocking them back, allowing for a follow-up attack.
- Can be interrupted by attacking the mimic with a ranged weapon, a skill or by simply attacking it from behind.
- Unlike the Queen's similar move, the Mimic's parry will be used at random intervals, even if the player doesn't have a melee weapon.
- Similarly to the Hook Throw attack, the Mimic does not have a specific attack to follow up, and will use whichever attack is available to it.
Skill
- Description: Protrudes spikes from its body in all directions and upon hitting the player will cause 5 bleed DPS for 3 seconds.
- Can be parried and dodge rolled.
- Likely due to a bug, the damage of the bleed debuff doesn't increase like other damage from enemies. As the attack deals very low base damage outside of the bleeding it inflicts, it will typically deal very low damage overall.
Food, Flask Charge, or Cough Syrup
- Description: Stops and eats body parts to heal itself for 25% of its maximum health. Happens in steps across 1.5 seconds.
- Can be interrupted.

Footnotes
- ↑ If the gear level of the Bank is 7, a weapon and skill shop would normally sell items of gear level 9. If the player buys one such item from a Mimic shop, the items level will be increased to 11 once it drops from the Mimic.
