Shell Dragon

Shell Dragon is a boss from Final Fantasy IX. It is fought in Pandemonium during an event where Zidane fights several enemies alone, with party members joining in the fight during them. Afterward, it appears as a random encounter.

== Battle ==
In the initial fixed encounter, Zidane begins the fight by himself. The Shell Dragon can use powerful physical attacks, as well as Earth Shake, a strong Earth move that hits the entire party. Its Smash attack takes a party member's HP down to 1. When Zidane is forced into critical HP, by Smash or some other attack, Dagger joins the party to heal him to full health. She stays in the party for the remainder of the fight.
Shell Dragon will also appear as a random encounter throughout the remainder of Pandemonium. As a random encounter, it gains a new ability in Snort, which removes a random character from battle.
=== Strategy ===
It is easy to win the first battle with only the Bahamut or Shiva summon and Zidane's physical attacks.
Float nullifies damage from the Shell Dragon's Earth Shake. Quina can learn Earth Shake by eating a Shell Dragon as well.
