Mirage Manual

The Mirage Manual is a feature in World of Final Fantasy that contains information pertaining to Mirages. It is located in The Twins' Room in Nine Wood Hills by examining the game console on the windowsill and selecting "Mirage Manual".

Each Mirage has its own page with detailed information: its elemental and status resistances, transfigurations (if any), initial stats, growth ratings, weight, abilities, Mirage Board spaces, item drops (if any), locations they can be encountered, and its prismtunity objective (if any). A (humorous) description for the Mirage is also included. The player can move the camera around, change the background, and can even play the battle animations for the Mirage.

When the player encounters a Mirage for the first time but has not yet imprismed it (or had a Mirage from the same family transfigured into it), a dull icon that shows the Mirage appears within the manual—the Mirage can be viewed, but does not display any further information. Once imprismed, the Mirage's icon retains its actual color and player can then view its information. Mirages that are unimprismable only need to be defeated to be added to the manual. Some story-related Mirages, such as Tama, are automatically added.

The player does not have to imprism or possess one of each Mirage type to earn 100% completion of the Mirage Manual on their file. The player can transfigure a Mirage to a form that does not have a complete entry, but must confirm the selection within the Prism Case for it to count toward the percentage.

Tama

 * Description
 * Lann and Reynn's trusty navigator.
 * She's not a bunny rabbit, in case there's any confusion there.
 * Claims to smell like rainbows. As it turns out, there's no way to prove her wrong.

Tamamohimé

 * Description
 * Tama's tongue twister of a transfiguration. Pronounced "tah-mah-MOE-hee-may."
 * She's looking divine, to be sure, but...how to put this... The chest hair does come as a surprise?

Yurugu

 * Description
 * A fox-like Mirage that, for whatever reason, attacks with Foxfire.
 * The celebrated artist Guildenbrandt once foolishly attempted to use a yurugu as a paintbrush...
 * but needless to say, he found the experience to be completely unpaletteable.

Kyubi

 * Description
 * A nine-tailed terror also known as the "black fox."
 * Technically, it has one tail and eight butt-swords, but let's not nitpick.

2P Tama

 * Description
 * Tama's gone pink, pink, pink! Did she feel like brightening up her image, or did Serafie just put food coloring in her watering can today? Tinkle tinkle tinkle!

Chocochick

 * Description
 * A little chocobo that loves to waddle around. These feathery friends love to head-butt things;
 * this is fine, because a chocobo's eggshell never cracks twice.

Chocobo

 * Description
 * One of the many birds valued throughout Grymoire as a mode of transport. Flightless, but fleet on their feet.
 * The males are called "chocobros"...by no one, if there's any justice in the world.

Mecha Chocobo

 * Description
 * Cogna. A chocobo made entirely of what appears to be machinery.
 * This was the producer's idea and the artist approved, which means it's canon right down to the cannons.

Black Chocochick

 * Description
 * A chocochick with black feathers. Even their bones are black, just like a rare breed of chicken.
 * For whatever reason, just their eyes are red. Allergies, perhaps?

Hyperion

 * Description
 * A black chocobo with a vicious personality. He can run faster than most other chocobos.
 * Apparently this particular specimen gained fame in a place called the Golden Saucer.

White Chocobo

 * Description
 * A rare, white chocobo. Sadly, you won't get a fat chocobo by transfigging this guy.
 * We had to save something for next time.

Sylph

 * Description
 * A tiny wind pixie that makes its home in forests and other places of natural beauty.
 * The sylphs are good friends of Serafie—in fact, she sometimes meets up with them to play cards and gossip—so be sure to treat them with the same boundless affection Serafie expects you to feel for her.

Siren

 * Description
 * A Mirage who wields wind and provides support to allies. All that hear this siren's song are driven wild.
 * She is usually seen flashing red and blue while chasing criminals— Wait, wrong siren.

Serafie

 * Description
 * A laid-back wind pixie who has been buddy-buddy with Enna Kros for who knows how long.
 * She has a very...unique interpretation of the phrase "trying hard." One of her greatest pleasures in life is playing tricks on poor Tama.

Diva Serafie

 * Description
 * After years, if not eons of eying all those other transfiggers with considerable envy, Serafie has finally managed to move up in the world. She insisted on the "diva" styling, but maybe that wasn't such a good idea, because now Tama has taken to calling her "Dweeba Serafie" instead.

2P Serafie

 * Description
 * Serafie's got the blues— No, wait, Serafie is blue.
 * Back in the day when games were a little more pixie-lated, blue was a traditional color for Player 2.
 * You know, in case you thought "2P" was an emoji of Serafie winking as she sticks her tongue out at you.

Mu

 * Description
 * A cute little forest animal... Or at least that's what it wants you to think. Then, POW! A tail-punch to the jaw!
 * This Mirage has nothing to do with the legendary continent. May or may not squeak, "Mu!" when upset.

Skull Eater

 * Description
 * A mu relative that's constantly munching on a skull. Cute, but don't let that fool you or you'll be next.
 * Technically, it just nibbles skulls and doesn't actually eat them—but sadly, "nibbler" was already taken.

Carbuncle

 * Description
 * That floating ruby is actually part of the carbuncle's body, and is used to unleash a variety of attacks.
 * This cutie dreams of being a truckbuncle or trainbuncle one day...but never something so dreadfully ordinary as a planebuncle. (Get it? Plane/Plain? It's funny.)

Reaver Mu

 * Description
 * A mu originally found in a place called the River Belle. So why is it called a "reaver mu"?
 * Well, kids, that's because it was mistranslated in that other game. However, the idea of a cute, fluffy river Mirage plundering Grymoire was so charming that we decided "what the hey!" And that's how mistakes live forever.

Nut Eater

 * Description
 * A relative of the mu that continually munches on skull-shaped nuts. Can heal itself with a nutty bite.
 * ...Wait, what's this? It's the one that carved the nut into a skull?! Dude!

Topaz Carbuncle

 * Description
 * A carbuncle that uses a topaz's power for its various abilities.
 * By the way, did you know that imperial topaz is the rarest among topaz's naturally occurring colors?
 * Well, now you do, and knowledge is also power.

Goblin

 * Description
 * A Mirage that travels in numbers. Has a nasty set of gnashers, but rarely attacks by biting.
 * After all, goblin-punching is way, way more satisfying.

Goblin Guard

 * Description
 * A more powerful goblin equipped with sword and shield. The leader of the pack, so to speak.
 * Not to be confused with the goblin gourd, which doesn't actually exist.

Princess Goblin

 * Description
 * The princess of goblins. Also princess of getting the wrong idea.
 * Her helmet's horns move when she gets worked up; no one has stuck around long enough to figure out why.

Red Cap

 * Description
 * You can't accuse these scamps of hitting below the belt, because they go for your eyes instead.
 * Untrue fact: they turn their helmets red by sheer willpower!

Red Captain

 * Description
 * A goblin commander capable of buffing all allies. That's why their armor is so shiny.
 * Ha ha ha! Just kidding; that's not what "buff" means here.
 * ...Or is it?!

Mandragora

 * Description
 * Mandragoras live all over the world. These little guys may look cute, but don't touch. They're poisonous!
 * While no one's ever sighted one in the process of growing, you can never be too safe.
 * So if you see two floppy leaves sticking up, be smart and don't yank them!

Malboro

 * Description
 * Covered with flailing tentacles, this malignant monstrosity really needs some mouthwash.
 * The fumes it exudes from its mouth cause all sorts of maladies... Just how bad is its Bad Breath?!

Korrigan

 * Description
 * A dark-hued Mirage that uses plantlike attacks. Korrigans are absolutely inkorrigible to the...uh, kore.
 * They're the real reason you shouldn't garden after the sun goes down.

Malboro Menace

 * Description
 * The absolute worst smell you will ever face. Its Putrid Breath causes complete systematic meltdowns.
 * If you worked hard at it, you might be able to smell this bad too. But please, please don't try.

Copper Gnome

 * Description
 * Composed almost entirely of copper, this metal with the mettle takes pride in its tough hide.
 * It is incredibly satisfying to face one of these and shout, "Myeeeah, see! You'll never take me alive, copper!"
 * (If you got that reference, then congratulations! You are old!)

Mythril Giant

 * Description
 * A towering Mirage made of a rare metal. Capable of taking a beating, and strong as well.
 * Mythril is harder than steel, so fist-bumping is not recommended.

Iron Giant

 * Description
 * With its mighty blade and mightier Mighty Guard Skill, this Mirage is one dangerous customer.
 * You might think the mythril giant should be stronger, since mythril is both rarer and harder.
 * Well, not this time.

Lead Gnome

 * Description
 * A metallic Mirage with a toxic touch and a Body Slam ability that takes full advantage of its hardened body.
 * You may think this gnome is a leader. Sadly, you've been "lead" astray. (Hurr hurr.)

Chrome Giant

 * Description
 * A Mirage with a menacing mace that delivers punishing blows. Takes less damage when unstacked.
 * The burning question is, is it chrome-plated, or chrome all the way through?

Mini Golem

 * Description
 * A Mirage that looks like someone stapled a set of arms and legs to a head.
 * Likes charging its enemies while singing "Go! Go! Golem, Body Slam!" ...But seriously, who doesn't?

Water Golem

 * Description
 * An itty-bitty golem variant with a surprisingly high threshold for physical pain. Hit it with magic, however...
 * Has a passion for bathyspheres, ichthyology, and seafood.

Golem Head

 * Description
 * A mini golem imbued with wind magic and the power to make any time nap time.
 * ...Sorry, what was that? Why call it a "golem head" when it has a body? Hey, don't sweat the small stuff, okay?

Floating Eye

 * Description
 * A winged eyeball that slings magic.
 * Protip for keeping yourself awake at night: try to visualize its heart and brain gasplurshing around in there.

Ahriman

 * Description
 * A floating eyeball with a terrifyingly toothy grin. Imagine waking up to see this thing hovering over you.
 * Then again, stare at it long enough and it's actually kind of cute...

Blood Eye

 * Description
 * A burning, blood-red eye that slings around fire magic. Kind of looks like a tomato.
 * Rumor has it its tears are the secret ingredient at Grymoire's best watering holes.

Buer

 * Description
 * Bet you didn't think it was possible to make a floating eyeball any creepier.
 * Well, behold! The buer! Just saying its name is scary: bueeerrrgh!
 * By the bye, its eye is actually a keyhole. Find the right key, and...nothing will happen.

Fritt

 * Description
 * A tyke with a flair for flames. His horns get frequent compliments.
 * Wears a warm scarf, despite basically being on fire.

Affrite

 * Description
 * A fritt in the throes of adolescence.
 * You can tell from the attitude and the fact that he desperately, desperately needs a haircut.
 * Let's just hope someone raises him right and teaches him the difference between affright and affwrong.

Ifrit

 * Description
 * A Mirage whose powerful flames eradicate all foes.
 * Famous among even the laziest of the FF faithful, since he usually shows up early in the story.

Ifreeta

 * Description
 * An exceptionally rare female ifrit who's gunning for a spot in the regular FF lineup.
 * She's tough enough to do it, too. No wonder Ifrit doesn't like her.

Weeglee

 * Description
 * A small Mirage resembling a fritt. This rare variant keeps a low profile.
 * Attempts to befriend it by singing it pop songs will not work; coordinated dance numbers have also, unfortunately, proven futile.

Gleed

 * Description
 * A grown-up weeglee. Years of bracelet-lifting have made him bigger, stronger, snarlier.
 * Oh, and don't worry, he's wearing pants: nature's pants.

Gleefrit

 * Description
 * A grand gleed. It looks like an ifrit, but nope—different beast altogether.
 * The bracelets are part of his body and contain agelong reserves of magic.

Bablizz

 * Description
 * An adorable ice pixie with a knack for ice magic and a fondness for colder climes.
 * Has no button nose, and those eyes of hers definitely aren't made out of coal.

Mishiva

 * Description
 * A bablizz that's grown into a chilly little ice princess.
 * Her magic arsenal has expanded to more than just ice attacks, but her vocabulary still needs some work.

Shiva

 * Description
 * A Mirage known for putting her adversaries on ice.
 * Ask her to make you a slushy! She's surprisingly cool about that kind of stuff.

Shivalry

 * Description
 * A rare male Shiva. Drives his female counterpart up the wall with lengthy "superhero" monologues.
 * Cannot be defeated with space rocks or the color yellow.

Brrblizz

 * Description
 * Some Mirages, like this one, possess unique traits that set them apart from others in their tribe.
 * But despite the "brr" in her name, she's not actually colder than a bablizz.

Shivverina

 * Description
 * A brrblizz that has evolved into what looks like a little girl.
 * Despite years of training, she still hasn't figured out how to use her cape as a second pair of legs.

Shivver

 * Description
 * A fully grown Mirage as powerful as Shiva herself.
 * Some folks might glance at the "dark queen" getup and assume she needs a hug or something;
 * do not hug her.

Zapt

 * Description
 * A wired tyke who's still learning to absorb lightning. His magic set remains limited.
 * Don't confuse him with a certain-colored mage; they're two different things.

Zaphr

 * Description
 * A Mirage that resembles a little boy.
 * He's gotten the hang of summoning lightning with a snap of his fingers, and looks good doing it.
 * But you might not want to shake his hand.

Ramuh

 * Description
 * A Mirage whose Judgment Bolt reduces everything to ash.
 * His mortal enemy, therefore, must be a pile of ash, because...well, what can he do to it?

Ramewl

 * Description
 * Ramuh's granddaughter and a truly, er, eloquent speaker.
 * Her hair spikes up when electrified, saving her hours of primping in front of the bathroom mirror every morning.

Joult

 * Description
 * A mage-like Mirage with red eyes. Still not particularly adept at the whole "zapping" thing.
 * Maybe he's snapping his fingers wrong...if he has fingers. (Does he even have arms?)

Voultr

 * Description
 * An evolved joult that can weild darkness as well as electricity; basically, he's a one-man light show.
 * Of course, he gets invited to all the parties.

Rairamuh

 * Description
 * A being with powers akin to a ramuh's. When he wants to shock you, he really shocks you.
 * President of the Burned My Hair Off Club For Men.

White Nakk

 * Description
 * A wolflike Mirage with sharp fangs and thick fur to protect against the cold.
 * You could say that it has a "nakk" for hunting...but please don't say that.

Fenrir

 * Description
 * A Mirage that inhabits colder regions and uses swift attacks and its Ice Storm ability to corner prey.
 * (Wheels and sword compartment not included with this model.)

Cerberus

 * Description
 * A huge Mirage that attacks with three elements from its three heads—two of which, strangely, don't seem to be attached. A certain Mr. Valentine packs a gun named after this Mirage, but neither he nor his weapon seem to be around.

Black Nakk

 * Description
 * A nakk with high resistance to fire. Even its teeth are like hot coals; you could probably grill a hamburger in there if you could just get it to keep its mouth open.

Elefenrir

 * Description
 * Another type of fenrir. He seems to have some sort of history with Eiko's tribe.
 * It's a common mistake to mix his name up with that of El Fenrir, the famous invisible Cornelian luchador.

Babyhemoth

 * Description
 * Don't rock-a-bye this baby, or you'll be sorry when it counters. Those horns are plenty sharp!
 * You probably have some theories about what this will turn into when it grows up.
 * Those theories are quite correct.

Behemoth

 * Description
 * A hulking beast with large, powerful horns. Also a heavy mouth breather.
 * But even heavier than that is its fearsome Heavy Counter, which is enough to make even the spooniest bard sorry he swung his lute.

Behemonster

 * Description
 * This legendary brute comes complete with twice the ferocity and thrice the anger management issues of its relatively calmer kin. Walks on two legs to show off its ripped abs.

Kuza Kit

 * Description
 * A beast wreathed in lightning. It specializes in thunder attacks and packs a mean magical counter.
 * The more one stares at it, though, the more one has to wonder: what exactly is it chewing?

Kuza Beast

 * Description
 * A formidable foe with large horns that positively crackle with electricity.
 * Thanks to this, it's never had a good hair day. Watch out for its powerful strikes and magical counterattack.

Dark Behemoth

 * Description
 * A jet-black behemoth with snow-white hair. Its claws can tear through mythril like paper.
 * But, of course, that's to be expected, since only the strongest survive when it comes to downloadable selecti—
 * Ahem! Natural selection.

Moogle

 * Description
 * Everybody's favorite fuzzball with the funny way of talking, kupo. Attacks and heals using equally funny dances.
 * Apparently, they're willing to take just about any job if it means they get a role in the story.

Kupirate

 * Description
 * Marine moogles with a penchant for piracy. They spend their weekends relaxing on the beach.
 * Through the wonders of Grymoirian magic (also known as "budget limitations"), they all share the same voice.

Kupicaroon

 * Description
 * An expert at water attacks. These moogles roll with a different crowd than Faris's crew, but that story...
 * will have to wait for another day. Watch out for their "Kuparrr!" ability, which causes berserk.

Glow Moogle

 * Description
 * A sparkling star of the moogle world whose pom-pom halo glows like the sun.
 * Also functions as a night-light in a pinch...and looks like a planet if you cover the bottom half with your hand!

Deathskull

 * Description
 * An undead Mirage that can unleash an entire spellbook's worth of magical attacks.
 * Don't mistake it for a trick-or-treater.

Undead Princess

 * Description
 * Everyone's favorite undead princess. Seems to maybe sort of have a history with Sherlotta?
 * Hmmm... If she's a princess, shouldn't she have a kingdom? But let's not go there... It's a dead end.

Mordskull

 * Description
 * A Mirage that excels in earth magic, but don't forget that scythe leaves a nasty mark too.
 * Try not to run into this scamp in a dark alley. Also, that's not a mask; it just looks like that.
 * (Chewing must be a challenge...)

Metalliskull

 * Description
 * An undead skull-head with a knack for lightning attacks and shocking counters.
 * This is what happens when you try to design a skeleton that's not made of bone.
 * It's kind of like a burger without the patty, except this thing doesn't appear to even have buns. (Made you look.)

Right Claw

 * Description
 * A Mirage that loves slicing and dicing. Dangerous when paired with the left claw.
 * Insists that it's left-handed, but it's right. Wait...

Left Claw

 * Description
 * A Mirage that loves slicing and dicing. Dangerous when paired with the right claw.
 * Would insist that it's right-handed if it were here, but it's already left.

Cockatrice

 * Description
 * A bird with a poisonous beak that sometimes insta-KO's its prey.
 * It doesn't have the Flutter ability, which may be attributed to the fact that its wings are eyebrows.
 * The least it could do is keep those bad boys better trimmed!

Valefor

 * Description
 * Yuna's "faythful" friend and companion, so to speak. She soars through the air, wild and free.
 * Raid your hand if you're feeling a wave of nostalgia right now!
 * Hey, uh, speaking of nostalgia...did you know FINAL FANTASY X has been remastered in high-def?

Cocadrille

 * Description
 * A bird that uses its stout beak to vent its frustrations. It pecks when it's peckish, and it pecks when it's not.
 * Sadly, it can't fly, but that doesn't stop it from dreaming.
 * Attempts to use it to bore holes in wood have led to numerous accidents across Grymoire.

Nirvalefor

 * Description
 * Whooosh! ...Goes a flaming streak across the sky. It's a bird! It's a dragon! Nope, it's a nirvalefor!
 * Fast as these Mirages are, they still can't outrun the burning sensation that they're late.

Dualizard

 * Description
 * One body, twice the lizard! Rap battles itself regularly, but always loses.
 * That's because it spits so much poison on the mic, it melts.

Trihyde

 * Description
 * Buy now, and get an extra head free! Just kidding; three's all you get.
 * Try braiding its heads while it sleeps. If it doesn't destroy you with attack magic, that means you did a good job.

Tiamat

 * Description
 * A gigantic dragon with one, two...a lot of heads. Do those yappers in the back count?
 * Each head has a different element and personality. It makes deciding where to go for dinner a huge pain.
 * Don't confuse this tiamat with the Fiend of Wind. That one has even more heads.

Bihydra

 * Description
 * Resistant to fire. Both of its maws are particularly dripping with venom.
 * Tends to get into heated arguments with itself that quickly escalate into fiery exchanges.
 * Despite being a bihydra, it doesn't do so well with hydration.

Ghidra

 * Description
 * A dragon-like Mirage with three heads, each of which spits a different type of flame.
 * Its name is not, in fact, short for Greg the Huge Industrially Designed Roasting Apparatus, but you can call it Greg if you want. Somebody break out the marshmallows! Greg's here!

Nidhogg

 * Description
 * A status-ailment-inducing disaster on four legs. Gets considerably more dangerous as its HP dwindles.
 * The heads on the back have worse breath than the heads on the front, but you don't want to know why.
 * Also: not a pig, although it must eat a lot of pigs to grow this large.

Cactuar

 * Description
 * A Mirage with a truly astounding ability to evade attacks.
 * Its jerky movements may lead you to think that our animators are lazy, or that your frame rate has taken a sudden dive, but we can assure you that there is nothing wrong with us or your hardware, thank you.

Gigantuar

 * Description
 * A huge cactuar with a dignified mustache. Looks great in a top hat and monocle.
 * Visualize the cactus on your desk growing this big. Okay, now visualize it with a mustache. Now smile.

Cactrot

 * Description
 * A cactuar that's quick to make a run for it. Chances are it'll zip away before you imprism it.
 * Oh, and never fear. It's not rotting, it's trotting (at high speed).

Gigantrot

 * Description
 * A stylish cactrot with an even more stylish 'stache. Its needles are razor sharp.
 * Everyone knows the plural of cactus is cacti, but what's the plural of gigantrot? Gigantrotti?
 * It sounds a little like a secret organization, doesn't it?

Cactuar Johnny

 * Description
 * A cactuar who's never seen without his signature red cap. (The hat, not the goblin.)
 * Artist behind the hit record Johnny B. Prickly, which just went double mythril!
 * (What do you mean, "What's a record?" Next you're going to ask us what a rotary phone is. Yeesh...)
