Petrify is a status in Final Fantasy IV. When set, the ATB bar does not increase and the character is effectively frozen during the battle. When inflicted upon enemies, they will die and disappear from battle. A character's HP is effectively unchanged for the duration of this status. The Petrify status has the following properties. Physical attacks on a target that has Petrify are automatically re-targeted, and magical attacks on such a target are not re-targeted unless it was on a single target. Having this status counts as dead for determining a game over. This status will effectively remove all other statuses except for Toad, Mini, Pig, Blind, Silence, and Float.
