Malboro (Tactics)

Malboros in Final Fantasy Tactics are the familiar tentacled monstrosities that appear in so many other Final Fantasy games. They have a large amount of HP, but no evasion at all. Malboros' special abilities generally focus on debilitating their enemies with various status effects. They can move on the surface of water and have a weakness to Ice.
