Battle
Flapbeats' Flying Sickle attack is strong and can deal a lot of damage for their level. With the Restore Materia, they should not be a serious danger. Flapbeats drop T/S Bombs, which cast Demi2. This is highly useful if one missed Laser, as Demi2 will not be learned until much later in the game.
