Demonolith

Demonolith is a fiend in Final Fantasy X encountered Inside Sin and in the Omega Ruins. It is a dangerous enemy that can be difficult to defeat.
It has the appearance of a fossilized monster inside a large stone slab. It has five claws that protrude from the slab, which are its means of melee attacks. On its back, it has a fossil based on the Elvoret boss from Final Fantasy VIII.: A fossil of the FFVIII monster Elvoret is buried behind it.
==Stats==
==Battle==
Demonoliths use two basic attacks; its normal Claw attack is not terribly strong, but may inflict the Curse and Zombie statuses, while its other physical attack, used against aeons, is stronger and has perfect accuracy. It will not use these when facing Valefor.
A Demonolith's Breath attack has a high chance to petrify all party members, and is used after being targeted three times. Its meanest trick is the Pharaoh's Curse counterattack, inflicting Darkness, Silence, Poison, and Curse. Pharaoh's Curse will not be used in retaliation against special damage or aeons.
===Strategy===
Stoneproof armor protects the party against Demonolith's breath attack. In the Omega Ruins, the party should always have at least one character equipped with a weapon that has First Strike to avoid being ambushed. Inside Sin, this is not an issue.
A weapon with Silencestrike, Wakka's Silence Buster attack, and Silence Grenade with the Use ability can be used, as Silence will prevent Pharaoh's Curse. Another option is to use Threaten to stop Demonolith from acting. They can be slowed down with Slow as well. Using Armor Break or piercing weapons will be useful when in Silence status. Counter-attacking does not trigger Pharaoh's Curse, so equipping weapons with Counterattack or Evade & Counter can be helpful.
Aeons are effective as they aren't affected by the status attacks, particularly Valefor as Demonoliths do not attack her.
