Mimic

> The Mimic has a gimmick: it can masterfully recreate the musical parts of any other Monster that it hears. Well, "masterfully" isn't exactly the word we'd use - especially not when it's still just a hatchling. It's a work in progress, but once the Mimic is a little older and the eggshell has been cast off, watch out…

> In addition to parroting the music of its fellow Monsters, the full-grown Mimic has another trick up its sleeve - it can shapeshift to disguise itself and take on the form of other beings! Attempts to teach this skill to other Monsters have so far proved unsuccessful.

## Description

**Mimic** is a Quint-Elemental Monster that is first available at Level 9. It is best obtained by breeding Spunge and Drumpler. Its breeding and incubation time is 48 hours long. It can be teleported to Cave Island once fed to level 20.

## Song

Voice actors: Dave Kerr

Mimic imitates, in a mimicking manner, the sounds of one specific monster on both islands it is on. Young Mimic imitates Bisonorus (dum dum dum diddly dum) on The Continent, while Adult Mimic imitates Fwog (wow wow wow wow) on Cave Island.

It sings in a "wobbly" fashion, hence sounding slightly similar to Theremind.

## Breeding

Mimic can be bred with the elements of Air, Plant, Earth, Water, and Cold. It can be bred with the following combinations:

## Notes

 File:Mimic (Spooktacle Junior).png
* Mimic represents the Air Element.
* Mimic is the only (non-Fire) Natural Monster to make its first debut in the franchise in Dawn of Fire.
* Mimic may be the very last new Monster in the franchise to have any of the Natural Elements, unless something like the Magical Islands happen again.
* Mimic is the only Quint-Element Monster that does *not* have the Fire Element.
* Mimic is the first and only (non-Fire) Natural Monster to be released after 2012.
	+ Mimic is also the first new Quint to be added to Dawn of Fire since 2017.
* It is the first and currently only Quint to be on Cave Island.
* Mimic was originally a scrapped Monster intended to be used in My Singing Monsters, but it later debuted in Dawn of Fire many years later.
	+ Mimic was originally supposed to work like the Recording Studio, but it now only mimics other Monsters for their sounds (Bisonorus on the Continent and Fwog on Cave Island).
* Mimic is the first Quint to be released with all of its potential breeding combinations available. The second one is Tuskski. This will also be the case when Bowhead and Gnarls arrive in the future.
* Adult Mimic's fan kit image had visible red rigging dots on its legs upon release, but this was quickly fixed.
* It has been hinted that Mimic will also come to the original game. It is not known whether it would release on a new Island or an existing one, though it likely will not appear on an existing island with standard breeding mechanics, due to its elemental makeup.
	+ With the release of Fire Expansion however, it is possible that Mimic actually *might* appear on an existing island.
* Mimic is currently the only monster exclusive to Dawn of Fire, and not present in the original game.
	+ However, there's a pretty good chance that this may change sometime in the future.
* According to Adult Mimic's description, it can shapeshift into other Monsters. This can be seen happening in the release trailer for Mimic in Dawn of Fire.
	+ However, this trait can *never* be seen in-game.
* It was released on the same day as Rare Astropod.
* Mimic and Congle are the only Monsters to feature eggshells in their designs.
	+ Because of this, they are, ironically, the only Monsters in Dawn of Fire to feature their actual eggs in their egg designs, and 2 out of 3 Monsters if you consider the whole franchise (Blabbit features its egg rotated 90°).
* Mimic was the first new (non-Prismatic) Monster released in Dawn of Fire in 2023.
* Mimic and Tuskski were the only two Quint-Element Monsters added to Dawn of Fire in 2023.
