	Blue Magic			Status Immunities
	Flame Thrower
	Strategy
	All three of these little creeps are undead and not heavy, so curative and life-restoring options will cause damage, including instant death in the case of something like a Phoenix Down. However, they can also revive each other when knocked out, so the better option is to use something like Requiem to hit them all at once. Carbuncle is a good choice for defensive setups, and you can even cheat a bit with Odin or the Samurai's !Iainuki.

Twintania Bestiary #306	Type	Level	HP	MP	Gil	EXP	Speed
	Magic Beast	39	50000	10000	0	0	35
	Strength	Attack Mult.	Magic Atk.	Evasion	Defense	Mag. Def.	Mag. Evade

	Command Immunities			Elemental Immunities
	Catch, Control			None
	Elemental Absorb			Elemental Weakness
	None
	Blue Magic			Status Immunities
	Mind Blast
	Strategy
	Twintania is another monster with two forms that are visually identical. The first starts the battle, and the second appears when charging Gigaflare. The second one lacks Heavy, so you can end the battle right there. If you want the steal and drops from it, though, you'll need to survive it either by having massive HP or Shell status, or by turning Twintania into a toad.

Tyrannosaur Bestiary #269	Type	Level	HP	MP	Gil	EXP	Speed
	Undead, Dragon	29	5000	1000	0	0	50
	Strength	Attack Mult.	Magic Atk.	Evasion	Defense	Mag. Def.	Mag. Evade

	????
	Strategy
	It's undead but not heavy. That means curative items will all work, and a Phoenix Down will kill it outright if it connects. If that feels like cheating, a wide variety of other attacks will work, but note that physical attacks will always be countered and Wind magic will be countered with Poison Breath.

Wave Cannon Bestiary #320	Type	Level	HP	MP	Gil	EXP	Speed
	None	97	22000	55000	0	0	?
	Strength	Attack Mult.	Magic Atk.	Evasion	Defense	Mag. Def.	Mag. Evade

	Common: Blitzshot			Common: Blastshot

	None			None

	None
	Strategy
	This four-part mech has tons of HP and a cannon that will kill every member of your party if it gets its attack off (defend against this by having someone Jumping!). The main target is invincible until the Launchers are dead, but you should wait to kill them until after the Wave Cannon, as it is the most dangerous part at first and is the only part that can't be resurrected. Once the Guardian is alone, you have only four rounds until the Launchers are returned, so hit as much as possible. All of the attacks that you would assume to be powerful are; consider equipping Ribbons, Bone Mail, and Angel Rings to up your defenses.

Wendigo Bestiary #289	Type	Level	HP	MP	Gil	EXP	Speed
	None	7	20000	8192	0	0	40
	Strength	Attack Mult.	Magic Atk.	Evasion	Defense	Mag. Def.	Mag. Evade
	65	10	10	0	10	20	10
	Stolen Items			Dropped Items
	Common: Dark Matter			None
	Command Immunities			Elemental Immunities
	Catch, Control
	Elemental Absorb			Elemental Weakness
				None
	Blue Magic			Status Immunities
	Mind Blast
	Strategy
	Wendigo has four targets, but only one of them is real. The real one will move around each time he takes damage, too. However, the first attack you make will always land, so make that first one count big. Since the fight will go more than one round, though, have something that absorbs ice to minimize the damage you take, and stay away from water attacks.

Wing Raptor Bestiary #243	Type	Level	HP	MP	Gil	EXP	Speed
	None	1	250	25	0	0	25
	Strength	Attack Mult.	Magic Atk.	Evasion	Defense	Mag. Def.	Mag. Evade
	7	3	1	0	0	10	1
	Stolen Items			Dropped Items
	Common: Potion			Common: Phoenix Down
	Command Immunities			Elemental Immunities
	Catch, Control			None
	Elemental Absorb			Elemental Weakness
	None			None
	Blue Magic			Status Immunities
	None
	Strategy
	Every third turn, Wing Raptor will close his wings around him. Don't attack during this time! When his wings are open, attack, and keep healed in case of Breath Wing. Leveling past level 4 will make this battle easier.
