Brachiosaur (Final Fantasy VI)

The Brachiosaur is an enemy in the game Final Fantasy VI. It is the toughest regular enemy in the game. It starts almost every battle by casting Disaster, which causes numerous abnormal status ailments on the entire party. Its physical attack hurts, and its special, Swing, will most likely kill a character. It also uses Meteor, and, to top it all off, Ultima, which means an instant game over unless the party at ridiculous levels. There is a big plus to fighting them, though. Every defeat means 10 Magic Points and a chance at winning a valuable and rare Economizer. Locke can also steal valuable Ribbons from them. Ice 3 spells from various characters, especially Terra and Relm, work very well against it, as do Sabin's Bum Rush, throwing weapons using Shadow, and hits with the Illumina, Locke's Valiant Knife, and Setzer's Fixed Dice. Edgar and Mog can equip Dragoon Boots and Dragon Horns to maximize the potential of Jump. A Pearl Lance helps them do even more damage.

Another method of beating Brachiosaur is by equipping everyone with a Dragon Horn and a Gauntlet or Offering and using the Esper Palidor. This will cause everyone to jump and attack multiple times.

Betting a Titanium in the Dragon's Neck Colosseum will also pit you in a fight against them, however they only use physical attacks here.
