Neslug (Final Fantasy VI)

The Neslug is a boss in the Advance version of Final Fantasy VI. It is fought in the Dragon's Den.

Battle
The head only uses a physical attack and attacks that it's special attack Tongue Bath that inflicts Slow. Because of its maxed out defenses, the shell of the Neslug is impossible to kill, and whenever attacked it uses Megaton Smash to KO a single party member, ignoring Death protection gained from relics like the Safety Bit and Memento Ring. The shell uses White Wind when the head is out to heal it for 9,999 HP. Firaga is recommended for direct attacks against the head because Neslug is weak against fire. Casting Vanish on the party will protect them from all of Neslug's attacks except Sticky Goo; allowing them to attack without fear of Megaton Smash. Upon defeat, the Neslug will drop Mog's ultimate weapon, Gungnir.
