Bestiary entry[]
- Being a great Sandfish, protector of the lands stretching from the Continent to the East to the very Edge of the World. Its Scales create a curious Pattern of Hues, containing all the blues of the Sea. The People of the East liken its appearance to a Wyrm that dances in the night Sky, and so do they call it the Blue Wyrm, and revere it as an Anima of Shadow.

Battle[]
Slyt attacks individual targets at a rapid pace. Whenever it hovers above water terrain, it will use Enrage and gain several other augments and Regen.
The area where Slyt is fought appears to be the rock circle in the pond situated in the middle of Cerobi Steppe. This landmark can be viewed from the Crossfield, Feddik River, North Liavell Hills, Terraced Bank, and Journey's Rest zones, but cannot be revisited once Slyt is defeated.
Slyt is also summoned when fighting the Elite Mark, Shadowseer, along with Phoenix, Fenrir, and Pandaemonium. Though it was immune to Sleep in the previous encounter, Sleep works on it during the second encounter.
Strategy[]
Slyt should be lured away from water with all party members remaining on land to lessen the threat. The Nihopalaoa trick can be used to incapacitate it, and then blast it with Fire attacks. Using Firaga will defeat it quickly especially when further boosted with Flame Staff or Burning Bow and by putting Reflect on the party and bouncing the spells to multi-cast them.
At Hell's Challenge, Slyt can be easily dealt with by casting Reverse on it followed by Renew to bring it down to 1 HP, then finish it with another curative spell or Potion. For the Zodiac versions, a Reverse Mote can be used as an alternative in its spell counterpart and bring on the White Mages. The following gambits will help defeat Slyt in an instant:
| Priority | Condition | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Foe: Lowest max HP | Reverse |
| 2 | Foe: Status = Reverse | Renew |
| 3 | Foe: HP < 10% | Potion |

Etymology and symbolism[]
Slyt, along with the other three bosses that Shadowseer summons, refers to the Sì Xiàng, four mythical Chinese beasts that correspond to the four directions of the compass. Slyt refers to the Azure Dragon of the East (Qing Long).
Though Slyt is a fish, its bestiary entry mentions that the people of the east call it the Blue Wyrm. This refers to a Chinese legend that carp capable of leaping over a great waterfall known as the Dragon's Gate will be granted the right to become dragons.
