Paralyze (Final Fantasy V)

Paralyze is a status in Final Fantasy V. Paralyzed units cannot act nor evade, nor will they cover for other allies, making it similar to stop status. The duration of paralyze depends on the attack setting it, but an easy way for the player to inflict it is with a whip (used by Beastmasters), most of which have a 50% chance of inflicting a susceptible target when the attack connects. Those afflicted with paralyze crouch in place and have yellow zigzag symbol next to them.
