Cactuar (Final Fantasy X-2)

The Cactuar is an enemy in Final Fantasy X-2. An enemy with high stats all around, especially in the Magic Defense department. Physical attacks are better off here. However, because its Evasion is so high, a Dark Knight's Darkness ability is recommended instead. Lady Luck's Two Dice and Four Dice will also do the job.

The leader of the cacti and Cactuars is an ancient cactus named Marnela (meaning "Grandmother" in the Cactuar language), who has a special bond with a young Al Bhed boy named Benzo. Benzo is the only person who is able to understand their language. The Cactuars in this area appear as realistic cacti. It is explained that the cactus stage is how Cactuars appear when they are born, then later in their lives, they uproot themselves and become what players know as a Cactuar. When they reach a certain level of maturity, they root themselves again, becoming cacti once more. It was believed a millennium ago that some Cactuar left Bikanel and migrated to the Thunder Plains, becoming the Qactuar. The Cactuar is fought in Bikanel in Chapter 5. Two also fight alongside the Jumbo Cactuar.
