Stats[]
Battle[]
It is of no threat, and thus the player should have no problem defeating it. Physical attacks are all that is needed to bring it down. Despite their many immunities, they are not immune to Darkness, meaning a Songstress can be useful for avoiding unwanted damage.
Creature Creator[]
Flak Python can be recruited into the party at any point in the game with a trap pod S set up in Guadosalam. It comes into the party having learned Ailment Def., which makes it completely immune to all negative status effects (excluding attacks that bypass immunities), and Full Auto, which allows it to deal a few hits of defense-ignoring physical damage on a single target. These make the Flak Python a useful ally throughout the game, as it is immune to negative status effects and is also capable of dispatching armored foes easily with Full Auto. Requiring only 761,597 EXP to reach Level 99, the Flak Python is one of the fastest-growing creatures in the game, alongside the Recoil, another Bandoleer-species fiend.
Fiend Tale[]
One notable Flak Python was created from the spirit of a crack sniper of Spira's sniper guild who intentionally became a fiend to fulfill a contract, eventually revealed to be Yuna herself. Allowing himself to be captured by the Gullwings, the Flak Python bides his time, but finds himself unable to pull the trigger. In the end, Flak Python returns to his guild to admit that he cannot perform the job. As they begin to punish him, Shinra intervenes, and the two of them escape together. Flak Python sacrifices himself to protect Shinra from their pursuers.
