Brain Pod (Final Fantasy VII)

Brain Pod is an enemy from Final Fantasy VII during Jenova's escape in the Shinra Bldg. and in the fourth round of the Battle Square before the player obtains the Tiny Bronco. They can also be fought during the return to Midgar near the end of the game, but at this point they are harmless. When fought in the Battle Square their stats are enhanced with double the normal HP and their Attack and Magic Attack are increased by 25%.

==Battle==
The Brain Pod is one of the stronger enemies on the upper levels of the Shinra Building. It has two forms of Refuse with a different animation each, which inflict magic damage and either Poison (black poisonous smog) or Sleep (spitting out a green mass) upon targets. It first uses its Refuse attack (poison version) until a character is poisoned, and then will use its other version of the attack on that character. Its Bodyblow attack may be a threat to characters already weakened by Poison. It can become a problem if the status ailments are not cured quickly. Using Bio on Brain Pod will restore its HP.
Brain Pods drop Deadly Waste, a useful item which casts Bio2 on all enemies; they can be useful against bosses that can be poisoned, or Midgar Zolom.
===Strategy===
The player can exploit their weakness to Cure magic or Potions to defeat them.
