Is this thing a species or a creature?Knife (talk)

It is an enemy and I think a species, not just an item. Problem resolved. RAP.pngRAP... Man! That list would go on unless I'd stop it!

Split warranted?[edit]

So Mimic is both a Final Fantasy enemy and a Dragon Quest enemy, yet they're both treated as the same thing because... they're both mimic treasure chest enemies? Even though they look quite a bit different? And then for some reason, the Huhwhat family from Super Mario RPG is being lumped in as well, even though they're even more different? Shouldn't these articles be split into Mimic (Dragon Quest) and Mimic (Final Fantasy)? ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits) 04:53, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

The page seems to categorize it as an archetype of enemy and tbh I think it's fine, as a quasi-generic subject, especially since in the context of Mario, they're by all intents and purposes, the same enemy. BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C) 18:34, August 9, 2024 (EDT)
