High Reaver

High Reaver is a giant/behemoth-type enemy in Final Fantasy XII found among Reavers in the Subterra. The High Reaver is a stronger form of the Reaver. Two of them are fought alongside three Reavers and a Crystal Knight in the Zodiac versions' Trial Mode in Stage 82.
High Reaver is named Apanda Leader in the Japanese version, a reference to the Apanda in Final Fantasy Tactics (which in turn is retranslated as Reaver in The War of the Lions).
== Bestiary entry ==
The High Reaver shares a bestiary entry with the Reaver.
=== Page 1: Observations ===
:Being a giant entity with the power to cross the divide between this world and the spirit world. Its body is highly muscled, requiring massive amounts of energy to sustain movement, as the reaver's voracious appetite for the flesh of other creatures well attests. The horns atop its head are of incredible hardness, able to notch even adamantite. On rare occasions a reaver of exceptional strength is born, this being a high reaver, and even more to be feared that the more common variety.

==Stats==
== Battle ==
The High Reaver has a range of strong physical attacks, of which Sandstorm and Tail Swipe can hit multiple characters. It can also buff itself with Haste.
=== Strategy ===
One way to defeat a High Reaver without taking damage is to inflict Sleep and then attack with magick.
This enemy is weak to earth, but the player has few ways to inflict earth damage (possible options are any bow with Artemis Arrows or any gun with Mud Shot). Alternatively, one can inflict Oil and then attack with fire-elemental damage.
Lacking the Safety augment, High Reavers can be instantly killed by various methods.
