Darkmare

Darkmare is an enemy in Final Fantasy XII. One can be found in the Ward of the Sword-King area of the Stilshrine of Miriam. When approached, it will teleport far behind the party, but will return seconds later. The Darkmare is one of several enemies that respawn only when certain conditions are met. It only spawns in the Ward of the Sword-King in the Stilshrine of Miriam. To fulfill the required headcount to fill out the bestiary, the player cannot repeatedly respawn the Darkmare while Negalmuur hasn't been killed during the visit. Instead, a respawn can be forced by saving and resetting, preferably at the save crystal in the neighboring zone, the Walk of Revelation, or by leaving the area completely (i.e. teleporting to another location and then teleporting back).
It rarely drops the Demon Mail. Darkmare is the only enemy that drops both types of grimoires, important loot to make one of the most powerful offensive items, Dark Matter.
