Byblos (Final Fantasy V)

Byblos is a boss in Final Fantasy V. He attacks the party in the Library of the Ancients when they open up a mysterious book.

Strategy
Byblos likes to inflict status ailments. His favorite is confusion, but he also likes to drain your MP with Magic Hammer and half your level with Discord. A Black Mage should pelt him with Fira, since he's weak to fire magic. A Mystic Knight can also help, while a Summoner can use Ifrit.

A cheap way to win is to use the Blue Magic Death Claw. This will take him down to single digits, and make killing him easier.
