Neslug (Final Fantasy X)

Neslug is an optional enemy in Final Fantasy X, bred in the Original section of the Monster Arena after at least one of each fiend roaming throughout Spira is captured. The design for Neslug, a hideously mutated snail, is only found here; hence making it the only true "Original" monster.

Battle
Neslug will attack with Megaton, which causes Confuse and Instant Death, and will also Lick one character for heavy damage. Its Slime will hit all party members, inflicting Poison, Curse, Armor Break and Mental Break. After losing half its HP, Neslug will retreat into its shell and initiate Auto-Regen and regenerate massive amounts of HP.

Strategy
When Neslug retreats into its shell, the player should not summon Aeons as it will make Neslug start regenerating over 100,000 HP per turn. During this time Neslug is immune to physical attacks, making Ultima handy. When Neslug is down to 1,000,000 HP its shell will break and disappear. Wakka's Attack Reels Overdrive is a useful way to ensure victory.

The player can also bypass the shell phase entirely by using Attack Reels just before Neslug retreats.

Neslug will drop armor with Auto-Phoenix and weapons with the One MP Cost ability.
