Mortiorchis

Mortiorchis is a boss in Final Fantasy X fought in conjunction with Seymour Flux.
==Stats==
== Battle ==
Seymour Flux will use Lance of Atrophy on a party member, applying the Zombie status to them, before the Mortiorchis casts Full-Life, instantly KOing the victim. It will still cast Full-Life even if Seymour does not inflict Zombie, which will target a random party member. After it is used twice, Seymour will cast a party-wide Dispel that the Mortiorchis follows up with Cross Cleave, which deals an average of 2,000 HP damage to the entire party. Attempting to delay the Mortiorchis causes it to counter with Slowga on the party.
Once Seymour's HP drops below 50%, the Mortiorchis will prepare to use Total Annihilation by spending two turns charging up; first entering Auto-Attack Mode, then announcing it is Ready To Annihilate on its next turn. If the player summons an aeon, the Mortiorchis will postpone its use of Total Annihilation until Seymour banishes it. After using Total Annihilation once, the Mortiorchis will only require one turn of charging for further uses, staying in Auto-Attack Mode indefinitely.
If the Mortiorchis's HP drops to zero, it will use Mortibsorption, replenishing its HP from Seymour in the amount of 4,000, 3,000, 2,000, and finally 1,000 with each successive use, also modifying its max HP to the same amount.
The Mortiorchis has three unused abilities: Biora, which works like Bio and additionally deals proportional damage equal to 75% of the target's HP if they are not immune to Demi; Osmose, which drains 100% of a target's MP; and Magic Re-Enabled, which restores 1,000 HP and cures Silence.
===Strategy===
Because of the Mortiorchis's Armored status, Piercing physical attacks will do significantly more damage than magical or regular physical attacks. Attacking the Mortiorchis with single-target attacks can be seen as a waste of time, as the damage is better inflicted on Seymour, who also isn't Armored.
== Etymology ==
Morti could come from Latin-based languages for "death". Orchis is an orchid characterized by a tuberous root and an erect fleshy stem bearing a spike of typically purple or pink flowers. The name is from the Ancient Greek ὄρχις, meaning "testicle" or "ovary".
