Deathgaze (Echoes of Time)

The Grim Gaze is a boss in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. It is fought in the Ruins.

Story
The Grim Gaze is the mutated, winged form of the Yuke Veriaulde, who was subject to horrible experiments under his master Larkeicus. While Veriaulde was given eternal life due to this experimentation, this boon had one unfortunate side effect; Veriaulde would transform into a Grim Gaze whenever he was exposed to a fargment, no matter how minute, of the Crystal Core.

When the Hero and companions descend into the deepest room of the Ruins via levitating platform, they meet Veriaulde, who had been hiding away for centuries in order to prevent anyone from tempting the Grim Gaze within him. He starts off a suprised and pleasent conversation with the Heroes until the protagonist pulls out the Crystal Core piece. Veriaulde backs away in terror, but cannot stop Larkeicus' curse within him. In an insane fit, the Yuke morphs into the Grim Gaze, which the party must fight.

Battle
The Grim Gaze is a levitating creature, and only a character with Double Jump can reach it. It attacks with Lightning-elemental beams, which inflict the Zap status, and a wing attack. If a character jumps on top of it, the Grim Gaze will cover itself in purple light which does heavy damage.
