The Doomtrain appears in the game as a major plot device in season three. It is an Esper summoned by Bruce in combat, but was turned onto the Farplane Express train through the use of Pilocyte, allowing the protagonists to ride it in order to travel the Farplane to combat The Hollow. It is most of the time piloted by Rinora who serves as its conductor.
The 7★ Unit Bruce has the ability "Doomtrain Summon" which uses the Evocation Gauge that has a 75% chance of inflicting death, 80% chance of inflicting all status effects and deals physical damage to all enemies for 3 turns, as well as increasing the unit's Limit Burst gauge.
It is an unique Esper in the sense that it cannot be acquired by the player like the rest of the Espers, and therefore it cannot be either leveled, customized, equipped or Summoned in typical fashion. It can only be used offensively through Bruce's aforementioned ability.
