Dragon Pod

The Dragon Pod is a boss in Final Fantasy V. It is the reason why Wind Drakes have been dying out recently, as it attacks any Drakes that investigate the plant. When the party look for some herbs to heal the Wind Drake, they mistake the Dragon Pod for the herb and are attacked.

Strategy
The Dragon Pod will do nothing but spawn Dragon Flowers, which in turn will attack the party for a small amount of damage, and inflict Old, Confuse, Paralyze, Poison, Zombie or Blind, depending on the type flower.

As soon as this battle begins, the party should summon Golem. The characters can now kill the Dragon Pod and the Dragon Flowers surrounding it easily, since they all use physical attacks. The party can first kill the flowers, then focus on the pod. One can cast Sleep on every flower, rendering the Dragon Pod defenseless.

If the player has enough multi-targeting attacks, they might be able to overcome the attacks and defeat it, but the above strategies are recommended.

As the Dragon Pod is not immune to the spell Death Claw (Final Fantasy V), using this right before a multi-targeting attack will wipe out every enemy on-screen.
