Pteryx (Final Fantasy X)

Pteryx is a special enemy in Final Fantasy X created in the Species Conquest at Monster Arena after four of each bird-species fiends have been captured.

Being a flying enemy, Pteryx will evade most normal attacks, unless the character has a high Accuracy stat. Its normal Beak attack will have a delay effect; and the special Beak of Woe can hit one or all party members. This attack ignores the Protect status and will cause Curse. Also, it starts with Regen status.

Pteryx will drop armor with Defense +3%, +10%, or +20%. It will also drop weapons with Strength +3%, +10%, or +20%.

Etymology
is a Greek word meaning "Wing". Pteryx is also a genus of beetles in the family Ptiliidae.
