Crystalbug (green)

The Crystalbug is a fiend/crystalbug-type enemy from Final Fantasy XII. There are only three Crystalbugs in the entire game, a red, blue, and green one. The player can steal Feystones from it, which is needed for making High Arcana.

The first mention of such a creature comes from the moogle merchant Tetran, who mentions a creature that mimics that of crystals.

The green Crystalbug is found in the Walk of Revelation area of the Stilshrine of Miriam, appearing as a green "Life Crystal". It becomes an actual Save Crystals when defeated.

Battle
The green Crystalbug knows elemental magicks, halves all elemental damage, is immune to all negative statuses and has the troublesome Restore ability. Like Mimics, it will not attack until inspected. The green Crystalbug does not give any Experience Points, but does give 10 License Points.

The Crystalbug must be attacked consecutively, as otherwise it will resort by using Restore to heal itself with 30% of its HP.

Strategy
This Crystalbug can be defeated regardless of whether the party has buffs or not.

Trivia

 * In the original Japanese version, the green Crystalbug had a mere 2,326 HP. Both the Piggyback and Bradygames guides erroneously show the hitpoint total from the Japanese version.
