Battle[]
Needle Kiss uses the fairly powerful Thunder Kiss ability, but the damage can be mitigated by linking the Elemental Materia with Lightning Materia in a character's armor, if the player obtained Elemental from Mayor Domino earlier. Needle Kiss will sometimes use his Chute Attack twice in one turn.
Needle Kiss drops powerful Bolt Plumes and Softs can be stolen from it; Remedy can also be morphed from it, making it potentially a useful enemy to fight.
