Its attacks can inflict Stop. It shares a common weakness with most Flan in the series, Fire, so it can easily be defeated with Fire spells. In later Cycles, Flan have the ability to cast a Slow spell in the form of a acidic mist. Flan are not really much of a challenge alone, but they make great group support mobs and have their niche. They share their design with the Flan from Final Fantasy IX.
