Dante is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI.
Stats[]
Battle[]
Like his three palette swap counterparts (Test Rider, Death Rider and Hell's Rider), Dante always attacks the party alone and, like other enemies in the area, he can confuse the party. Dante has a lot of HP, and his special attack, Crystal Lance, deals moderate damage. He is weak to Poison, so Bio spells do heavy damage against him. Additionally, Dante can be defeated by using curative items or spells on him, as he is undead.
He can be morphed into Thunder Shields, which can then be bet in the Coliseum to win Genji Shields, one of the best equipment pieces in the game.

Etymology[]
Dante likely refers to Dante's The Divine Comedy where Dante travels to heaven, purgatory, and hell. It is one of the many references to the Divine Comedy in Final Fantasy VI.
