Mimics

First apperance: Ultima I

Last apperance: Ultima IX



Description

The careful adventurer should be always alarmed, if there are lots of bones around a chest. Because some chests like to bite, they are Mimics! Mimics, treasure chests with very sharp and hungry teeth only wait for one careless hero trying to loot them, and then bite off their arm or shoot poison at them. However, should they miss their prey, they are exposed, and easy to kill for the more experienced one.

Mimics are only found in dungeons.

Evolution in the series

Mimics appeared in Ultima I, IV, V, VI and IX. However, in Ultima IX, Mimics are quite different, growing arms and legs when touched, and attacked the Avatar with its claws.
