Ash (Final Fantasy IX)

The Ash is an enemy from Final Fantasy IX. It can be found in Memoria. Its appearance is based on traditional depictions of the pagan deity, Baphomet. During a fight, Ash will use Reflect on itself then cast Stop on itself, reflecting the spell back at your party. It also casts Doom and Death upon the party. Its strongest attack is Snowstorm, an attack which hits the entire party for Ice-elemental damage. It is recommended to have Ice-absorbing equipment at this point in the game to avoid this attack, as it can be devastating to a lower-leveled party. Demon Killer and Bird Killer both are useful in fighting this enemy, as Reflect Nullify is. Quina's Twister spell can also deal heavy damage as it is weak to Wind-elemental attacks. Note that Ash is not immune to Heat, Freeze, or Instant Death, so the usual Iai Strike, Mustard Bomb, and Freeze will work well here as well.
