I returned to this game recently and there are a couple of things that I'm wondering:

1) Are Mimics ever random encounters? Or are they just lurking in treasure chests? I'd like to pick up a couple of Mimic Hearts, but the drop rate is low.

2) Has anyone mastered every single human and monster class? It seems almost endlessly time consuming.

3) Why does every picture of the main hero show him with a lizard perched on top of his head?
