Direct answer: In Doodle World, the trait that lets one doodle copy or trace another doodle’s trait is typically called "Mimic" (or a similar ability such as Mimicry) and it lets a doodle copy an opponent’s trait or move for a short time.

Trait summary

  • Mimic / Mimicry: a passive or activated ability that duplicates another doodle’s trait or an active move, allowing temporary use of that trait’s effect.
  • Hidden or rare variants: some doodles may have rarer hidden traits related to mimic effects; these are less common and sometimes require special items to obtain or change.
  • Trait badges/items: Doodle World uses items (for example, Trait Badges) to change which trait a doodle has, which can let you give a doodle Mimic if the doodle can learn multiple traits.

Gameplay notes and strategies

  • Use a Mimic doodle against opponents with strong passive traits you want to exploit — Mimic typically copies the passive effect so you effectively gain that benefit for the duration.
  • Chain and team composition: pairing a Mimic doodle with teammates that trigger powerful traits creates combos (for example, copying a defensive trait to survive big hits).
  • Acquiring Mimic: check the doodle’s possible trait pool (some have 1–2 normal traits plus a hidden trait); if Mimic is not a standard trait, you may need Trait Badges or luck to get it.

Example scenario

  • Opponent Doodle A has a trait that boosts critical chance. Your Doodle B with Mimic copies that trait during battle, letting Doodle B benefit from higher crits and potentially turn the fight around.
