Appearances
Final Fantasy V
Template:Sideicon
Knife effective against humans.
Description
The Man-Eater is a high-ranked knife found in the Interdimensional Rift, or stolen from Alchymia. It has an Attack of 86 and Hit Rate of 89, and also grants +2 Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Magic. Even if not mentioned in the item menu description, it does double damage when used with the Jump command.
Final Fantasy VI
Template:Sideicon The Man-Eater is a high-ranked dagger used by anyone who can equip a dagger (except Mog). It deals double damage to human opponents. It has an attack power of 146, +10 Magic Evade, and enables the Runic command. It can be found in Darill's Tomb, or bought in Jidoor and Thamasa in the World of Ruin for 11,000 gil.
A certain amount of caution is recommended when using this weapon, because if the player equipped with it becomes confused, they will deal double damage to party members. Therefore, it is a good idea to use the Man-Eater while equipped with either a Ribbon or a Peace Ring, to protect against the Confusion status.
Man-Eater is affected by the Capture glitch.
