Mimic is an anthropomorphic mimic octopus and a mercenary who carries the ability to shapeshift. Mimic used to be a member of the Diamond Cutters, an elite anti-Eggman mercenary team, as their infiltrator until betraying them and siding with Eggman. He is now an enemy of Whisper the Wolf. Known to have always sought prestige and riches, Mimic—in keeping with his shapeshifting abilities—is an ominous, sinister, manipulative, remorseless, cunning and violent sociopath with scant regard for anyone.
