Battle[]
Zuu can be an irritating enemy to fight in the bridge area of Mt. Nibel as it is considered a long-range enemy there. It can use Claw twice in one turn. Its Great Gale may inflict Darkness to all party members. It drops Bird Wings, one of the party's few sources of Wind-elemental attacks in the game. Zuu itself is weak to Wind.
When it loses the half of its max HP via a physical or magic attack, Zuu will counter attack, and the screen first will display "Zuu feels Fury"; on its next turn it will use Great Gale.

Etymology[]
Zu means "fire" in the Sumerian language. Anzû, before misread as Zû, is a lesser divinity or monster in several Mesopotamian religions. He was conceived by the pure waters of the Apsu and the wide Earth, or as son of Siris. Anzû was seen as a massive bird who can breathe fire and water, although Anzû is alternately seen as a lion-headed eagle (like a reverse griffin).
