Occurs at The Penultimate Fantasy Airship.

Reference

  • Like many things that occur on the Penultimate Fantasy Airship, this monster is a Final Fantasy reference. It references the fact that you can never go far in dungeons and fields in FF (and many other RPGs, for that matter) without having a random encounter with an enemy. In the first Final Fantasy, there was even an area (which, thankfully, could be bypassed) that automatically triggered a random battle every time the party took a step!
  • Additionally, this monster resembles the unoffical mascot of Square-Enix's other well known RPG series Dragon Quest (also known as Dragon Warrior), the Slimes.
  • "They try and hit you, but for some reason just stand about ten feet away and make hitting motions" refers to earlier games in the Final Fantasy series, where the monsters never actually approach you to attack, they just sort of make motions or flash and your characters take damage.
