Security Eye (Final Fantasy IV 2D)

The Security Eye is an enemy in the game Final Fantasy IV. Security Eye counter all attacks with the Alert ability, which summons a Stone Golem, Chimera, Naga, or Flamehound. Any attack made when an enemy is on the screen that targets the Security Eye results in a Beam, which deals magic damage. One of each kind of Security Eye appears in various monster-in-a-box encounters.

Strategy
Because of this creature's attack pattern, there is no real way to make it through the fight without taking damage. Until the party has destroyed the Security Eye, it is best to ignore the other monsters it summons, because it will just summon more when the others are killed.

A noticeable feature of the Security Eye is that it will not attack unless provoked. Because of this, the encounters with it can be a great opportunity to restore HP/MP with Rosa's Pray. Everyone else should defend and Yang use Focus twice. Yang can equip the Lightning Claws to expose the Security Eye's weakness. Alternatively, Rydia cab summon Ramuh, which should kill it in one hit. Palom can also use Cry without provoking it to attack.
