Stats
Battle
Plague Horror, as his first attack, group-casts Doom on the whole party, and then group-casts Haste on them. Afterward, he spends two turns to cast Protect and Shell on himself, and then will cast Heal and recover 2,000 HP each turn from then on.
Unlike in the 2D versions, Doom IS effected by both Haste and Slow in the 3D versions.
Strategy
The key is to kill Plague Horror as quickly as possible. Rydia's Flare, Rosa's Holy, and physical attacks from Cecil, Edge, and Kain are the best bets. If a party member has the Phoenix Augment equipped (preferably Kain), then when the whole party gets wiped out by Doom they will be revived. After that, Plague Horror will never cast Doom again, and will resort to casting Heal every turn.
The Holy Lance is earned after defeating the boss.
Etymology
A plague is any virulent and highly infectious disease that can cause an epidemic or even a pandemic.
