Mesmerize (Final Fantasy VIII)

Mesmerize is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII. It is a white equine-like creature with a curving sickle-shaped horn. The Mesmerize Blades they yield are good refine items.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Mesmerizes attack with kicking, ramming, and by ejecting their sickle-shaped horns. They only use single-target physical attacks and are not particularly strong, though Blade Shot can be used as a counter to magic attacks. When attacked by the player, their horns may break off, forcing them to use two alternate attacks instead.
Mesmerize carries Cure magic to draw/cast if needed, and is a good way to obtain Mega-Potions by refining its spoils. To obtain Mega-Potions, one must first defeat or mug Mesmerizes for Mesmerize Blades, and turn the blades into Mega-Potions using the Recov Med-RF ability, two Mega-Potions for one Mesmerize Blade. Selling the Mega-Potions is a good way to earn gil. Mesmerize Blades also refine into Regen.
=== Strategy ===
Mesmerizes are fairly easy to defeat with a good Str junction alone. Junctioning 100 Deaths to ST-Atk-J also dispatches them in one hit.
== Triple Triad ==
Mesmerize is a Level 2 Monster Card in Triple Triad used for playing the minigame and for turning into Mesmerize Blades with Quezacotl's Card Mod. This is the best way to get Regen spells early on, so it is worth collecting the Mesmerize cards whenever there is a chance, as the enemy itself is not fought until later.
