The Nymph is an enemy from Final Fantasy IX found in the grassy areas north and west of Cleyra on the Mist Continent overworld (except Disc 3, during the time there is no Mist on the overworld). She uses Night to put the entire party to Sleep, which Quina can learn by eating a Nymph. Otherwise, she is not strong. Insomniac immunizes the party against sleep. LV3 Def-less works on Nymphs.
A friendly Nymph can also be encountered as part of a side quest in overworld outside the Iifa Tree on the Outer Continent (discs 2 and 3), or on the grassland area where the regular Nymph used to appear near Cleyra (disc 4). It will ask for three Ores and will reward the party with 30 AP for them.

Etymology[]
In Greek mythology, nymphs are nature entities in the form of nubile women associated with a particular landform or location. Nymphs tended to frequent areas distant from humans, but could be encountered by lone travelers outside the village, where their music might be heard, and the traveler could spy on their dancing or bathing in a stream or pool either during the noon heat or in the middle of the night. Such encounters could be dangerous, bringing dumbness, besotted infatuation, madness or stroke to the unfortunate spectator.
