Amoeba (Final Fantasy IV 2D)

The Amoeba is an enemy from Final Fantasy IV. It can be dangerous because it can counter magic with Reraise in the Nintendo DS release to revive any allies fighting with it that have fallen. To guard against this, eliminate the Amoeba first, then the other monsters accompanying it. Physical attacks are enough to finish this enemy. The fastest way of dealing with these enemies is to have Rydia or Tellah cast Thunder on them to do massive damage.

Oddly, in the original SNES version, it counters magic with Remedy. In the Advance release, it counters magic with Restore to attempt to restore HP to itself and/or allies. In all versions, it has higher HP than other enemies around the time, and leaves a great deal more gil and EXP as well.
