Moonform

The Moonform, also known as Hipocampus, is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. They usually only use normal attacks and their special Mouth Clamp, which inflicts Sap. If attacked they have a 33% chance of countering with Flash Rain, and a 33% chance of countering with Acid Rain if the attack was magical. Fira spells are enough to defeat them, as they have relatively low HP at this point in the game.

AI Script
Attack Turns: 1st Turn: Attack (66%) or Nothing (33%) 2nd Turn: Attack (66%) or !Mouth Clamp (33%) - If attacked by "Magic": Acid Rain (33%) If attacked by anything: Flash Rain (33%)

Etymology
Hipocampus, the name of this enemy for the SNES version of the game, is a misspelling of Hippocampe, French for seahorse. Not to me mistaken with the anatomical.
