When three of them get together, they launch a Delta Hit which can be avoided if you have Ribbon. Larrys are weak vs. fire, so use Fire 3 to attack.
Final Fantasy VI PlayStation Bestiary entry
Laragorn, also known as Larry, is a boss in Final Fantasy VI. He, Curlax, and Moebius make up the Three Dream Stooges.
Stats[]
Battle[]
The three stooges can cast Delta Attack when they are all present, which petrifies a target and never misses. The only way to block it is to be immune to petrify. Laragorn attacks with Blizzaga, and is weak to Fire and death.
Strategy[]
Equipping Ribbons and Jeweled Rings is advised to block petrify. Curlax should be the first to die, as he uses Arise to revive his dead siblings (he is weak to Ice and sleep). Laragorn should go down next as he can flee. Firaga and Flare spells work well. Moebius can be stopped. An easy win to defeat the brothers is to cast Ultima.

Etymology[]
In the Japanese version, Laragorn is named Sogno, which is Italian for "dream."
In the original SNES translation, the three demons were directly named after the Three Stooges.
In modern translations, the name is most likely a portmanteau of "Larry" and "Aragorn", the latter being a hero in the Tolkien Middle-earth legendarium. The full name was likely created to sound fantastic as well as to bridge the translation gap between releases.
