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. 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.
Stats[]
Battle[]
It attacks with spells such as Diffractive Laser and Wave Cannon, and its special attack, Crush, a stronger physical blow. Since the team is wearing Magitek Armor, the best strategy is to use Thunder Beam with all characters, while Terra, if available, should use Magitek Missile.

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.
