Grenade (enemy)

Grenade (グレネード, Gurenēdo?; グレネイド, Gureneido?; グラネイド, Guraneido?) is a recurring enemy in the series. It is a more powerful version of the Bomb, but is generally near identical to the Bomb. Just like the others of the Bomb family, it typically attacks with the Self-Destruct ability, but sometimes uses abilities not found in others of the Bomb family.

AppearancesEdit

Final Fantasy IIEdit

Grenade is an enemy fought only in the Snow Cave, guarding a treasure chest containing a Mythril Mace. They use Self-Destruct III when low on HP.

Final Fantasy IIIEdit

Grenade is an enemy fought Bahamut's Lair, and is the strongest of the Bomb family. They are generally accompanied by the Drake enemy, and attack with regular attacks and Self-Destruct. They are weak to Ice-elemental and Water-elemental attacks.

Final Fantasy IVEdit

There is no standard Grenade in Final Fantasy IV, however the Dark Grenade is based on the original Final Fantasy III enemy. The Easy Type version renames the enemy to "Grenade" (グレネイド, Gureneido?).

Final Fantasy VEdit

Grenade is an enemy fought in the ruins section of the Interdimensional Rift, and generally use a physical attack and Self-Destruct to fight. Attacking them with magic will automatically make them counter with Self-Destruct. They are an invaluable source of Flame Shields as it is their rare steal.

Final Fantasy VIEdit

Grenade is an enemy fought at the Bomb forest and in Thamasa during the Flame Eater battle, as well as in the Soul Shrine in the Game Boy Advance and later releases. It is a dangerous foe as hitting it with physical attacks will cause it to retaliate with Self-Destruct, and it has access to the Mesmerize ability which inflicts Berserk to a party member. It also fights using the Blaze and Fireball skills, much like the Bomb. They can be a valuable source of Flame Shields when metamorphed, although it is a rare metamorph.

In the SNES and PSX versions, if the player does not encounter the Grenade in the Bomb forest, they may permanently miss out on the Grenade Rage for Gau.

Final Fantasy VIIEdit

Grenade is an enemy fought in the Whirlwind Maze. It slowly grows as it takes damage and will eventually use Bomb Blast when at max size. Grenades are capable of using Gush, and while they have access to the Eruption skill, will never use it.
