A high-tech Magitek killing machine. Attacks with a variety of methods.

Final Fantasy VI PlayStation Bestiary entry

The Io is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI fought in the Dreamscape mines. Io makes a useful Rage for Gau, as it can cast Flare Star, which increases in power as the target's level increases. This makes Flare Star very powerful against bosses that do not absorb Fire Fire. Flare Star's damage is also unaffected by how high (or low) the user's stats are, making the Io useful for players attempting a low-level run.

Etymology[]

In Greek mythology, Io was a priestess who was seduced by Zeus, who changed her into a heifer to escape detection from his jealous wife, Hera.

In Dungeons & Dragons, Io is the chief deity worshiped by dragons, god of balance, and peace seen by his people as the creator of all things. He is neutral in alignment, but he contains within him all other alignments.
