Death is a status in Final Fantasy VI, named in the GBA release. It appears inside the Bestiary as Death found under the Status Immunity section of the enemy entry. Death instantly kills the target regardless of the current amount of HP they have remaining. Some instant death moves work on the undead, whereas others restore undead to full health.
