Mimic



The Mimic (ミミック, Mimikku), also known as Trap Box (トラップボックス, Torappu Bokkusu), is a Reaverbot from the Mega Man Legends series that disguises itself as a treasure chest.

Most of them will shoot out a barrage of bombs toward whoever opens it. Some Mimic, however, actually have legs and attempt to escape from the person who opens it. The Mimic can be destroyed, sometimes with large sums of Refractor Shards that pop out of its wreckage.

Mega Man Legends
In the original Mega Man Legends, the Mimic appears to be nothing more than the regular treasure box that can be found all throughout the underground ruins. However, when attempting to open the treasure box, it will begin to throw out bombs to attack the enemy.

The Mimic can be destroyed unlike normal treasure chests and Refractor shards can be obtained from them.

Treasure boxes can be opened from the side or from behind to avoid getting hit by bombs should the treasure box turn out to be a Mimic.

Mega Man Legends 2
In Mega Man Legends 2, there are two additional varieties of Mimic to be found.

One variety is a Mimic that will get up and run around when an enemy gets close or opens the Mimic chest. It can cause damage by running Mega Man over as it tries to run away.

The other variety exists only in the Saul Kada Ruins, where it will first shoot out Zenny before it begins to shoot out bombs.

In Mega Man Legends 2, chests can only be opened from the front, but the Mimic has a delay before releasing bombs, giving you time to avoid it before it starts to attack you.
