Marchosias (Final Fantasy VI)

The Marchosias, also known as Harpiai, is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It mostly uses normal attacks, and its special attack Talon is a stronger normal blow. It has a 33% chance to use Aero on its second turn. It is weak to wind, so any Wind-elemental weapons the party has work well, as does Strago's own Aero.

The Marchosias can be transformed into a Growth Egg by Ragnarok. However, it only has a 25% chance of this occurring, otherwise it becomes a Potion. Furthermore, Ragnarok only effects the Marchosias 57.1% of the time, reducing the chances of getting a Growth Egg to approximately 14%.
