Master Tonberry (Final Fantasy VI)

The Master Tonberry, also known as Master Pug, is a boss inside a chest in Final Fantasy VI.
== Stats ==
== Battle ==
Like its cousin, the Tonberry, Master Tonberry counters all forms of damage with Traveler. It can use Barrier Change to change its elemental weakness. Players can figure out to which element it is weak from the spell it casts; it always casts a spell of the "opposite" element to which it is weak:
Weaknesses of the Master Tonberry
Ability 	Elemental weakness
Firaga 	
Blizzaga	
Thundaga	
Tornado 	
Quake 	
El Niño 	
Holy 	
Bio 	
It starts out with a physical attack, then begins taking steps towards the party once every fifteen seconds. Each time it takes a step, it uses Barrier Change to change its weakness. After seven steps, it uses the dreaded Knife attack on a party member, which deals damage equivalent to fourteen physical attacks. It then retreats halfway and starts using Knife every four steps. It is vulnerable to sleep.
The Master Tonberry drops the Gladius, a powerful -elemental dagger, when defeated.
=== Strategy ===
Sleep can be used to slow it down, but all attacks dealt to it while asleep must be magical (so it does not wake up) and non-elemental (so it does not get healed). Flare fits this job nicely, as Phantom Rush, Grand Delta, and Ultima do.
