Sap, also known as Seizure and formerly known as Slip, is a status in Final Fantasy VI. The afflicted will take damage every 8.5 seconds. This status inflicts damage more often than the poison status, but the damage is non-elemental and does not increase over a period of time. The amount has some random variation. The higher stamina will increase damage taken, as will higher max HP, to a point (damage before variation is capped at 255). Attackers have a 25% penalty to hit rate against those affected apart from the game versions affected by the Evade bug. Sap and regen cannot coexist on the same target.
Some undead enemies are afflicted with the sap status naturally, but the status was originally meant to heal the undead and thus work like regen. It does not work because of a bug in the "invert damage if undead" attack property. As a result, a few attacks and statuses do not work correctly and Sap hurts both the undead and the living.
