Chimera Brain (Final Fantasy X)

The Chimera Brain is an enemy from Final Fantasy X encountered in the northwestern area of the Calm Lands.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
In order, starting with a random ability, it uses Thundara; a powerful physical attack; Aqua Breath, which Kimahri can learn as a Ronso Rage; and the Fire-based Megiddo Flame. Against Valefor, it uses Thundaga instead of its physical attack. It will also use Thundaga when Provoked.
Chimera Brain will drop weapons with Magic +5% or +10% or armor with Magic Def +10%. If bribed, it will drop two Lv. 4 Key Spheres.
=== Strategy ===
Chimera Brain can be instantly defeated by inflicting Petrification, such as with a Stonestrike weapon.
Although immune to Instant Death, Chimera Brain is one of the few enemies in the game that can be defeated instantly by inflicting it with Zombie, then using a Phoenix Down or the Life spell.
While Sensor and Scan describe this enemy as being vulnerable to Threaten, Darkness and Silence, these statuses are questionably useful. Auron could use Threaten on his turns, but the MP cost may be excessive for fighting a regular enemy, so it may be more effective for Auron to simply attack. Darkness makes Chimera Brain miss most of the time with physical attacks, but physical attacks are only one out of the four attacks that Chimera Brain uses. Silence is limited by Chimera Brain's 95% resistance to this status, though Wakka's Silence Buster will bypass this.
