The Mimic Master (ミミックマスター, Mimikku Masutā) is a Unversed boss from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It serves as a boss in the Mirage Arena.

Design

The Mimic Master is a humanoid Unversed that seems to dress in a dark blue graduation gown with numerous intersecting bronze highlights. It also has large cuffs, a white ascot, and black, fingerless gloves. Its legs are not visible because of its gown. Its head is cube-shaped and light steel blue. It has a flat, square crest on its head resembling a mortarboard cap. The tassel hanging from this "cap" is a small, purple sphere attached to a gold crescent moon. This charm hangs from the right corner of the Unversed’s cap via a short, gold chain. Its large, red eyes are set in a happy expression. It also carries a massive, pink book as a weapon. The Mimic Master has more Unversed emblems on its person than any other Unversed, sporting one on the front of its robes and one on both covers of its book, leaving it with a minimum of three emblems. Every page of the Unversed's book seems to be emblazoned with the insignia as well.

To "mimic" means to copy or imitate closely in manner and appearance. A master is one who is highly skilled or proficient in their field.

Abilities

The Mimic Master has a similar fighting style to Zexion as it uses its book and the power of illusion to attack opponents. Unlike Zexion, who merely traps opponents in his lexicon, The Mimic Master is more aggressive, attacking with its book in various ways such as slamming it on the ground to create a shockwave or fly around the arena leaving a trail of fire wherever it goes. It can also use the book for defensive purposes like hiding in it to avoid damage. It also has magical attacks as well. One attack involves using the book's pages as shields while shooting two rotating lasers one black, the other gold. Both lasers can damage players, but the black laser can also darken the screen, blinding players and rendering Shotlocks useless. Its second special attack reflects its namesake: It uses its book to steal a character's attacks and turn itself into a replica of the opponent using some of the opponent's skills.

Strategy

The Mimic Master isn't a hard boss neither is it an easy boss. If the Mimic Master starts flying around, just keep dodging or blocking it and it will eventually stop. After that it will either use two laser or smack the player three times with it's book, which can be blocked easily. If it uses it's lasers, you better jump to dodge them, even if they damage the player a little, they will inflict massive damage and the black laser will blind you making your Shoot Lock unavailable. When it's HP is low, it will suck you close then vanishes. It may summon one or three copies of the player at the time, while the other copies are still in paper form. When all of the copies are defeated, the Mimic Master will reappear and use it's other attacks. Just dodge or block it's attacks then attack the Mimic Master and eventually it will be defeated.
