Shield Dragon (Final Fantasy V)

The Shield Dragon is an enemy in Final Fantasy V. Extremely powerful when first encountered, this creature attacks quickly with its Knock Silly attack, which inflicts Confuse and hits two party members at a time. It also has Reflect status from the beginning of the battle. Worse still, Dispel will not remove it as the Reflect status is automatic. When a considerable damage, e.g. 50%, has been inflicted on the Shield Dragon, this creature will Flee from battle.

One way to stop it from Fleeing is by Controlling it and use its Blaze attack on itself to defeat it. Another method is to cast Berserk on it.
