A pungent aroma surrounds this giant plant beast. It lashes its prey with powerful vines.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Final Fantasy VI[edit | edit source]

Rafflesia is an enemy encountered in Owzer's Mansion by examining flower pictures. It can use Entice, which inflicts Charm that can only be removed with KO of either the afflicted character or the Rafflesia which inflicted it. It is weak against Fire-elemental damage, but absorbs Water. Rafflesia is a source of a rare Nutkin Suit, which can be bet at the Dragon's Neck Coliseum to obtain a Genji Armor. Although Nutkin Suits can be obtained via the Coliseum stealing it from Rafflesia is more efficient.
