'''Zalera''' ([[File:FFT-ZALHERA.png|80px]]) is the third [[Lucavi]] demon whom [[Ramza Beoulve]] must fight in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]''. He is associated with the [[Gemini (zodiac)|Gemini]] [[Auracite (Tactics)|auracite]] and has possessed [[Messam Elmdore|Marquis Elmdore]] of Limberry. Zalera is assisted by two [[Ultima Demon]]s, [[Celia]] and [[Lettie]], who are disguised as human women.

==Story==
{{Spoiler}}
Ramza fights Zalera at [[Limberry Castle]] after fighting Elmdore once at [[Riovanes Castle]]. Ramza must fight his way past Celia and Lettie to gain entry into the castle and face Elmdore who is backed by the two. During the battle, if Celia and Lettie are killed, they will return to their Ultima Demon form. Once the marquis is weakened, he retreats into the undercroft where he transforms into Zalera. Before Ramza can reach the undercroft, he must fight a resurrected [[Argath Thadalfus|Argath]] to enter.
{{Endspoiler}}

==Gameplay==
Zalera's job is Angel of Death (PS)/Death Seraph (WotL). He has moves similar to [[Cúchulainn (Tactics)|Cúchulainn]], but is more powerful, and calls on several [[undead]] units to aid him. Ramza gains the aid of [[Meliadoul Tengille]] as a [[guest]] during this battle, and once Zalera is defeated, he dies and drops the Gemini Stone.

Zalera is [[level]] 44 with 70 [[Bravery (stat)|Bravery]] and [[Faith (stat)|Faith]], and has about 1125 [[HP (stat)|HP]] and 730 [[MP (stat)|MP]]. He is immune to negative statuses except [[Blind (status)|Blind]] and [[Slow (status)|Slow]].

===Rendezvous===
When fought in the thirteenth [[Rendezvous]] battle: [[Rendezvous#Nightmares|Nightmares]], he is [[level]] 99 and carries the same abilities and status immunities as previously.
