Abductor

The Abductor is a boss in Final Fantasy V, first encountered when the party arrives at Galuf's world. He snatches Lenna and Faris, and the player has to fight using only Bartz. If Bartz loses, he is kidnapped; if he wins, Abductor will drop a chest; when opened, Bartz is knocked out by sleeping gas, and the trio is taken to Castle Exdeath. This is one of the few boss battles the player is not required to win. The player next meets Abductor at the Castle of Bal, and it also appears later on as a regular enemy on the higher level floors of Castle Exdeath.
==Stats==
== Strategy ==
The player should change Bartz into a Dragoon and use the Jump command. As Abductor has low HP compared to other bosses and lacks the Heavy status, it should fall after two hits. Another option is to use the Blue Magic spells Death Claw or 1000 Needles or Vampire. If Bartz has learned Counter from the Monk and uses it on Knight, he can use Guard to tank the boss's attacks and deal damage in counterattacks. However, to get the boss's Gaia Gear, Bartz needs to be a Thief.
The player gets an Ether for winning the battle.

The Abductor appears as the boss of the "Castle of Bal" Core Dungeon. Unlike most bosses, it is fought in the first stage of the Dungeon. It can use Attack and Critical to deal physical damage to one target, Hurricane to damage one target dependent on its HP, and Bloodfeast to damage a target and heal itself. The Abductor has no elemental weaknesses but nullifies Earth, so beating it is a straightforward brawl.
The Abductor was later featured as the D650 boss of the Labyrinth Dungeon, season 1, group 3.
