Stats[]
Battle[]
Its special attack, Talon Grab, does slightly more damage than its normal attack, and it has a chance to use Aero on its second turn. This is particularly dangerous if the party has been hit by its Cyclonic, which puts all characters in Critical status. It uses Cyclonic as a counterattack when struck by spells.
It is possible to morph this enemy into a Growth Egg, an extremely rare relic that doubles the experience experience earned.
Coliseum setup[]
While a high Magic Evasion can block Cyclonic, it would be safer to simply equip a Safety Bit/Memento Ring. Paladin's Shield, Thunder Shield, or Minerva Bustier are helpful against Aero, while Kagenui can inflict stop on Vasegiatta.
