Battle
These powerful fiends are capable of wielding potent magic and can use physical attacks that deal significant damage to a character. The best way to combat these creatures is either by examining their elemental weakness with the Gun Mage's Scan and using the appropriate spells or by having one of the girls use the Dark Knight dressphere and cast Darkness. Protean Gel is immune to physical damage, and can change its elemental properties at will.
They are most commonly found in the Calm Lands after Chapter 2, but can be found at Macalania Woods at this same point, or at Via Infinito in Bevelle.
Etymology
The adjective "protean" is based on the god Proteus. In Greek mythology, Proteus is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea". Proteus was sought out by people for his ability to foretell the future, and to avoid them he changed his form.
A gel is a solid jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough.
