Dark Wizard (Final Fantasy)

The Dark Wizard, also known as the Mage, is an enemy in the original Final Fantasy. They are small Dark Elves with a red coloration. One thing to note is that these creatures have the same sprite as the boss Astos. This suggests that Astos may have been an elf of this clan, aspiring for highness. The reason for Astos' black skin is unknown.

As its NES and GBA name suggests, the Dark Wizard utilizes magic in battle, including Firaga, Scourge, and Slow. It is best to use physical attacks in battle, as they do not have any elemental weaknesses.

They appear in the Ice Cave, and the Chaos Shrine, in the third basement. Usually, Dark Wizards appear in groups of one to four elves. They also serve as the guardians of the chest on the right hand side of the Levistone.
