Slagworm (Final Fantasy VI)

The Slagworm or Hoover is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It is only found in the desert south of Maranda, and are likely to be encountered when hunting Cactuars who are exclusive to the same location.

Battle
Its special attack Crush deals heavy physical damage to a character, and it has a chance to counter all attacks with two Sandstorms, doing high Wind-elemental damage to the party. On their third turn, Slagworms may attempt to blow out a party member with Snort. Slagworms are not immune to Death attacks (in fact, they are highly susceptible to the Death spell), so Banish and Death spells, and the Chainsaw and Air Anchor Tools are the best ways to kill it quickly. The player can also cast Stop and Blizzara spells on it.
