Phobos is a boss from Final Fantasy V that appears alongside Triton and Nereid when the player attempts to obtain the tablet in the Great Sea Trench. In the Finest Fantasy for Advance and the 2013 versions, the trio also appears in the Sealed Temple's Cloister of the Dead. The three need to be defeated together to win.

Battle[]
Phobos is the poison-elemental member of the trio. Its moves include Rainbow Wind which blinds and silences a target while draining its HP, and both party-wide and single target casts of Bio, a spell that inflicts damage and sap.
Like his brothers, he is Undead and lacks the Heavy flag. He is vulnerable to poison, darkness, silence, old, petrify, death, confuse, sleep, paralyze, and stop status ailments.
Similar to the Gargoyles, Triton, Nereid, and Phobos must be eliminated simultaneously and failure to do so will cause them to revive and retort with Delta Attack.
Strategy[]
The battle can be won easily by using Odin. The Magic Lamp can even be recharged nearby.
Otherwise, the three can be easily defeated by repeated use of the Bard's Requiem and multi-target attacks such as summons, though one should only use water, wind, or non-elemental attacks to ensure all three fall together. Syldra is a good summon to use for this purpose; her damage can even be empowered with Air Knife.
