Chadarnook (Final Fantasy VI)

Chadarnook is a boss in Final Fantasy VI. It is a painting of the esper Lakshmi whose magicite Owzer has stored in his bookshelf. Owzer bought the painting at auction to display in his gallery, but it was possessed by a demon. Owzer hired Relm to fix the problem, but she was unable and so the party steps in.

For the North American SNES release, Chadarnook was censored and appears with more fog covering her body. While this change was reverted for the PlayStation release, she appears again with her censored sprite in the Advance release.

Battle
The Demon and the Woman alternate during the battle. The Demon switches places when damaged five times or after a period of time, while the Woman changes with the Demon when she takes enough turns in battle. Only the Demon can be killed: the Woman regenerates when killed. Thus the player must focus their efforts on the Demon. When the Demon falls the battle is won.

The Woman counters most attacks with Phantasm, which inflicts HP Leak on the party, a status similar to Sap that cannot be cured and will continuously drain the party's HP. It can also use Entice to inflict a similar status to Confusion that cannot be cured. The Demon uses Thundara, Thundaga, and Flash Rain to attack. Any Lightning-absorbing equipment the party has will greatly reduce the threat. The Demon is weak to Fire and Holy, so Fira spells and Sabin's Aura Cannon and Phantom Rush work well. When the Woman appears, it is recommended to defend, since Phantasm can be annoying. When the Demon appears, an all-out offensive is in order.
