Rakshasa (Final Fantasy)

The Rakshasa, also known as the ManCat in the Nintendo Entertainment System, is an enemy from the original Final Fantasy. It is not a powerful enemy, but will try to inflict many status ailments to the entire party, as they cast a wide array of spells, like slow. Wearing Ribbons protects against these inflictions. Its most dangerous attack is Fira, but that is negligible and they can still be taken care of with physical attacks alone.
