Rangda (Final Fantasy XIII-2)

The Rangda is a recruitable monster in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Rangda cannot be encountered as an enemy, and the only way to obtain its crystal is by activating the Mog's Manifestation Fragment Skill and by throwing Mog into the sea from the pier of New Bodhum -003 AF-. Only one Rangda crystal is available in the game, so if Rangda is released or infused into another monster, the player cannot obtain another Rangda.

Rangda is a Saboteur and its development is weighted towards magic, and learns many magic abilities. However Rangda is only capable of casting magic that Serah can access, with the sole exception of Endless Nightmare. Rangda's stat development begins quickly, then slows down midway through, before accelerating again towards the end of its development.

Rangda's main asset is its innate resistance against magic attacks and all status effects, plus it learns additional passive resistance against Fog and magic during its development. Unfortunately it also has the immovable Feral Fatigue passive ability, so the player is advised only to use its Feral Link near the end of battle.
