The Skull Eater (どくろイーター, Dokuro Ītā?, lit. Skull Eater) is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series. Debuting in Final Fantasy V, it is a more powerful version of the Nutkin, having nearly impenetrable defenses and very high attack power.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy V[]

Skull Eater from FFV SNES sprite

The Skull Eater appears as an enemy encountered in Jachol Cave. It also appears at the Sealed Temple in the Advance and Matrix Software releases. It has a mere 1 HP but it has incredibly high stats and, when hit by magic, can spawn five additional Skull Eaters. It is a very dangerous but lucrative enemy as it rewards a large amount of ABP and has a slim chance of dropping Elixirs.

Behind the scenes[]

The behavior, stats and color choice of these monsters resemble those of Dragon Quest's Metal Slimes, the main difference being that Skull Eaters don't give out that much EXP as they do AP or rare item drops.
