The Mimics are coming! The Mimics are coming!
ANNOUNCE 6/17/2009 5:45:55 PM Mimics are getting ready to elevate their status over their current "annoying dungeon monster." The Antique and Wooden mimics are on their way to Mabinogi and we're going to tell you all about them!Mimics are fun little pets. They come in two different flavors. First, we have your basic, run-of-the-mill mimic, the Wooden Mimic. This little guy looks just like the mimics you saw when clearing Alby dungeon for the first time.
He's much more affordable than his jeweled cousin, the Antique Mimic. As such, the Wooden Mimic's statistics are similar to that of White Flame Spiders, Golden Retrievers, and Bluebirds. Being a storage chest has its perks; the Wooden Mimic has an inventory size of 6x6. A large inventory size isn't the only thing going for this little guy. He allows his owner to hop inside and protects his master by sacrificing his own HP! What a brave little guy! Simply use the 'mount' option to hop inside your mimic.
Finally, one of the most interesting
abilities available to mimics is the ability to swallow a severely
damaged monster and turn it into a trophy statue for your keeping!
These statues are functioning decoration options for housing, so be
sure to have your mimic at the ready for those rare occasions when a
monster is vulnerable to being eaten. Your diligence will be shown as
you place your new prize in your house! So much for taxidermy...
Next we have the Antique Mimic. Just by looking at his stature, we can see that he's quite the fellow, adorned with a rich purple coat and golden filigree, ridges, and hinges.
They're a bit stronger than their Wooden cousins. Not quite as strong as bears, they can still pack a punch on an unsuspecting monster. Antique Mimics are noticeably larger than Wooden Mimics. As such, their inventory space is significantly larger, 6x9. The larger size also allows for the accommodation of two extra party members to hide inside. The stoicly faithful Antique Mimic will shield those inside from attacks.

Of course, like its cousin, the Wooden Mimic, the Antique Mimic can also swallow severely injured monsters, turning them into statues. You can choose the type of state to produce by outfitting the mimic's inventory with a certain kind of metallic plate. Nothing in the inventory will produce a cement statue, while gold plates will produce a golden statue.
We hope you've enjoyed the sneak-peak into the workings of the chattery mimics! Keep an eye out, they're coming soon!
