Metamorph (Final Fantasy V)

The Metamorph is a mage-like enemy appearing in Final Fantasy V. It is found solely in Ghido's Cave.

This enemy has the capability to transform into a variety of monsters and opponents previously encountered by the player. These include the summons Ramuh, Shiva, and Ifrit, as well as the enemies Gaelicat, Crew Dust, Elf Toad, Enchanted Fan, Wyvern, and the Zombie Dragon. Regardless of the form taken, Metamorph's stats remain consistent and it acquires no unique buffs or characteristics associated with the assumed monster shape.

Found only in the Second World, it is advised to fight Metamorphs until one drops a Staff of Light. This weapon can be used as an item to cast Holy and cannot be purchased or gained from another monster.

As Metamorphs give 3ABP per battle and can easily be beaten by strong physical attacks before they can attack (as they waste their first turn transforming)
