Joining Paper Pirates today is the new trait, The Imitator!

The Imitator is a new passive trait, available in all Trait and Traits+ games. At the start of the voyage, a randomly selected pirate is chosen to be the person that The Imitator is imitating.

While they are imitating another pirate, whenever The Imitator's team is revealed - either through traits or events - it will actually reveal the team of the pirate they are imitating.

The Imitator knows the identity of the pirate they are imitating, but crucially, they do not know which team they are on until it is revealed through a trait or an event. This means that The Imitator has no way of knowing whether they're going to show up as a human or a ghost when their team is checked.

How will they work with the person they're imitating? Will they betray them with truths, betray them with lies, or form an honest pact to work together?

The Imitator is one of seven new traits coming to Paper Pirates! More new traits will become available on the following schedule:

  • 1st October 2025

  • 17th October 2025

  • 31st October 2025

The next trait to be revealed is happening on a very particular date, which might give you a clue...
