Bestiary Entry
Genus: Rank VI Mark Classification: ???

''Being a great Sandfish, protector of the lands stretching from the Continent to the East to the very Edge of the World. Its Scales create a curious Pattern of Hues, containing all the blues of the Sea. The People of the East liken its appearance to a Wyrm that dances in the night Sky, and so do they call it the Blue Wyrm, and revere it as an Anima of Shadow.''

Battle
The Slyt's abilities vary depending on whether it is in the water or not. It can be kept busy by dispelling its buffs. Slyt is not immune to Sleep and Oil, so the Nihopalaoa trick can be used to Sleep and Oil it, and blast him with Fire attacks.

Slyt is also summoned when fighting against the Elite Mark, Shadowseer, along with Phoenix, Fenrir, and Pandaemonium. Using Firaga or Ardor will defeat it quickly.

Trivia

 * Slyt, along with the other three bosses that Shadowseer summons, references the Sì Xiàng, four mythical Chinese beasts that correspond to the four directions of the compass. Slyt refers to the Azure Dragon of the East.
 * Though Slyt is a fish, its bestiary entry mentions that the people of the east call it the Blue Wyrm. This is a reference to a Chinese legend that carp that are capable of leaping over a great waterfall known as the Dragon's Gate will be granted the right to become dragons.
 * The area where Slyt is fought seems to be the rock circle in the pond situated in the middle of Cerobi Steppe. This landmark can be viewed from the Crossfield, Feddik River, North Liavell Hills, Terraced Bank, and Journey's Rest zones, but cannot be revisited once Slyt is defeated.
