From that point on, every time the Human is killed, time will be reset to the day before they were killed originally. In this way, the Mimics learn about the enemy's strategy and have a chance of responding preemptively, as well as resetting time continuously until reaching a favorable outcome.Д«eing in contact with the blood of an Alpha Mimic may cause a Human being to enter this same loop as well.

Whenever an Alpha is killed, it triggers the Omega's chronokinetic response to reset time to one day before that occurrence, while retaining memories of it.

They are larger than Drones, and have light blue luminescence, rather than orange but are most notable for acting like the hive's nervous system, connecting the Drones to the Omega (which is the brain). Carter estimated that just 1 in every 6.18 million Mimics is an Alpha. As their name implies, Mimics' primary tactic is to charge the enemy in massive swarms and utilize their ability to move at rapid speeds, being able to alter their very physiology to from massive tendrils and the ability to fire missile like projectiles known as Mimic javelins add to their danger in combat.ДЄlphas, in contrast, are extremely rare. They can be identifed by their small size standing only around 4 feet tall and their bright orange bioluminescence. and lack the chronokenetic abilites of the Alpha and Omega and serve as primary soliders for the Mimic. It's not known how many of them are in the universe, but it's been speculated that there might be numerous asteroids carrying Mimic hives, waiting to land on suitable planets for them to colonize. They are all part of a single hive mind, which consists of three castes: the common Drones, the commanding Alphas, and a single gigantic Omega, which acts as the colony's central brain. Mimics are extremely fast and agile creatures with numerous tentacles, which can be used for moving on land, climbing, or digging through the soil to emerge and ambush unsuspecting prey.
