Bestiary Entry
Genus: Rank III Mark Classification: Lesser Dragon

"Once a legendary Wyrm, in servitude to a righteous King. But this King, fearing its violent & untameable Temperament, employed a Ring of Binding upon it, imprisoning the Creature within a howling Sandstorm. Now, many ages later, the Bonds upon it have been broken, and within the Sandstorm the Wyrm rages. The Resistance Forces training in the Dalmasca Westersand have deemed the Creature a clear Threat to their Operations and thus have issued a Bill for this Mark."

Battle
The player should buy Esuna before battling this mark because it will inflict Sap, Immobilize, and Disable on the party. A level of at least 30 is recommended, as is the acquiring of the best weapons available. The Rings Wyrm's massive HP can make this battle very difficult, and he likes to cast Refresh on himself, which heals nearly 1/4 of his max hp. You should open the battle with Dispel, then use a normal boss-battle strategy of physical attacks and magicks. If you can, use well-timed Quickenings to lower his hp well, and summon Belias (or other Espers) if you can, but back away from the battle and keep them in good shape. If he heals himself, quickly lower his HP back down with physical attacks and strong magicks.

Rewards:
