Dad Bomb (Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-)

The Dad Bomb is a boss from Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-. It is fought on the summit of Mount Hobs and attacks the party after they rescue two unconscious Monks.

Battle
Two Monks fight alongside Cecil, Rosa and Yang. The Dad Bomb behaves very similarly to the Mom Bomb of other games. After being attacked once, the Dad Bomb will swell up to a monstrous size on its next turn. During this state, it will use Blue Flame, inflicting approximately 200 points of damage to all party members. It can also capable of attacking twice in a single turn.

On its fifth turn after its transformation, it will use its most powerful attack, Massive Explosion, Sacrificing itself to deal approximately 400 points of damage to all party members. The Dad Bomb will then be replaced by three Gray Bombs and three Balloons.

Due to this explosion, it is recommended that all party members should Defend to reduce damage (except Rosa, who should concentrate on healing), as attacking the Dad Bomb is immaterial. However, it is also advisable that the Monks should be placed on standby just before the Dad Bomb explodes, so that they are ready to use Kick to quickly defeat the six bombs that appear later.
