Moonmaiden (Final Fantasy IV 2D)

The Moonmaiden, or Kary, is an enemy from Final Fantasy IV. They often attack alongside Dark Sages, and they counter physical attacks with slashes of their own. They can also inflict Petrify by using Embrace, which should be cured immediately. They are not too difficult to defeat, as a single Bahamut or Leviathan is enough to take them down. Inflicting Confuse on the Moonmaiden, such as with the Faerie Rod, will cause her to use only Embrace on herself or other enemies.

Etymology
"Selene", from the GBA translation "Selene Guardian", means "Moon" in Greek. The Moonmaiden's SNES and PS name, "Kary", is identical to the name used to refer to the snake-like Marilith in the NES version of the original Final Fantasy.
