Covert (Final Fantasy VI)

The Covert is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It is highly dangerous, as it counters most attacks by throwing a Shuriken at the attacker. For its normal attacks it throws Fire Scrolls, Water Scrolls, and Lightning Scrolls, and uses Wind Slash, all of which cause massive damage to the entire party. When they are defeated, they sometimes use Disappear to grant Vanish to one of their allies. As well, the party cannot flee if they are present. This overall makes them highly dangerous enemies and the player is advised to dispatch them as quickly as possible. Holy-elemental weapons work well to hit their elemental weakness.
