Lamia

Lamia are snakelike foes that appear in many of the Final Fantasy games after their debut in Final Fantasy II. Lamia are known for inflicting nasty status ailments like Charm, Confuse, Sap, Silence, and Paralysis. The first Lamia in the series appeared in Final Fantasy II with a stronger variety, the Lamia Queen, as a boss halfway through the game. On rare occasions Lamia can also appear as a summon.
