==Battle==
Crown Lances in the back row use Advance and Retreat to switch rows. Crown Lance only uses Claw when in the front row. It only uses Sleepel and Bolt when not in the front row. Sleepel may inflict Sleep on one character. Its most dangerous attack, Deadly Needles, is only used as a 100% counter-attack if it has Advanced to the front and has below 220 HP. This attack always inflicts Petrify. This is especially hazardous on the Battle Square, as being petrified will end the player's current run.
It has very low HP for the point of the game it is found; Matra Magic and fire spells can wipe them out easily.
