Green[]
The green Vepal appears in the Mitmakis Ice Field on the Lost Continent and some forests on the Triquai Plains. They hit the party with powerful physical attacks as well as the Blizzaga and Freeze spells. It is recommended to have Ice resistance and equip Body Temp. Using strong Fire- and Wind-elemental weapons is useful, as well as using Firaga, Firaga Sword, and Twister.
Red[]
The red Vepal appears on Mount Gulug. Its Scorch makes it immune to elemental attacks and it uses Mustard Bomb, which can be learned for Quina's Blue Magic, and can cause Heat and disable characters. It is recommended to have the Body Temp ability equipped, and any Fire-resistant equipment to reduce damage or absorb its Lava Gun attack. Being level 35, they are instantly killed with Quina's LV5 Death.
