Ghidra (Final Fantasy V)

Ghidra, also known as Aquaus, is an enemy in Final Fantasy V, found in the Ronka Ruins. It is a rare encounter in the fifth floor, and more commonly fought in the room with the Archeoaevis boss. The player can learn Level 4 Graviga from it as a Blue Magic. Ghidra can be summoned by Alchymia in Istory Falls, but that version doesn't count in the bestiary. 
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Ghidra is undead and starts out with Auto-Reflect, which bounces back magic to the caster. It attacks with Lightning and Poison Breath, which deals high damage and poisons the party. It uses Level 4 Graviga as a finishing move before it dies.
Ghidra is a rare and lethal enemy, but a profitable encounter. It gives more experience than any enemy encountered in the Ronka Ruins and usually drops Phoenix Downs, which can be used to kill it. It also has a rare steal in the Killer Bow, which is the strongest available bow at the point of the game the Ghidra is fought, and can instantly kill enemies. Ghidra is the first available monster that can use the Blue Magic spell Level 4 Graviga.
=== Strategy ===
Ghidra's high health and permanent reflect status mean it is unlikely the battle will be won with physical attacks before Poison Breath and Lightning kill the party. As Ghidra is undead, it can be instantly killed with revival items. The Blue Magic spells Missile and Death Claw work well against Ghidra's high HP. Additionally, Death Claw's paralysis effect will prevent Ghidra from casting Level 4 Graviga.
