The Piscodemon, also known as the Wizard in the NES version, is an enemy in the original Final Fantasy. It guards Astos' crown, as well as other locations:

  • The space within the lowest left-hand door in the third basement, Marsh Cave.
  • Left side of a chest, found in the second room from the bottom, counting from the left. Marsh Cave, basement 3.
  • Guarding a chest in the lower right hand corner. Marsh Cave, basement 3.

It is a tough enemy when encountered for the first time as its attacks inflict a large amount of damage and it is impossible to escape from. Black Mage that has learned Thundara from the Elfheim Magic Shop can make short work of it.

Etymology[]

Piscodaemons are daemons in Dungeons & Dragons. The term originated in the first edition and is a combination of Latin piscis (fish) and “demon”. Starting in second edition Dungeons & Dragons, daemons and piscodaemons were renamed as "Yugoloths" and "piscoloths", although Pathfinder, itself based on the revised third edition of Dungeons & Dragons, would continue to use the first edition names.

Wizard is another name for a Magician. Wizards in fantasy literature and RPGs often draw from the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, whose Wizards of Middle-earth are a group of beings outwardly resembling Men but possessing much greater physical and mental power. Each Wizard has robes of a characteristic color, Gandalf the Grey being a quintessential example.
