Aspidochelon (Final Fantasy VI)

The Aspidochelon, also known as the Opinicus, is an enemy in Final Fantasy VI. It can be found at the Ebot's Rock and, while weak for this point of the game, it will attack with Rage and then two normal attacks on its fifth turn. It can also counter magic with Wind Slash. A few normal attacks should be enough to kill it before it gets to the fifth turn.

Paladin Shield and Minerva Bustier will work wonders against Aspidochelon's elemental abilities; alternatively, Gaia Gear and Angel Wings are good against Landslide, and Ice Shield/Flame Shield/Snow Scarf help against Avalanche. Umaro is a good choice when equipped with the Master's Scroll and Angel Wings.

The sprite that is shared between Aspidochelon and Devoahan was used and modified for some of the Salmando-class dragons in Bahamut's Lagoon. Namely, the White Warrior and Poison Warrior, the Earth Slayer, Green Slayer, Pontilac, Giygas, General, and Iron Eagle are all heavy modifications of the original.
