This Beast-type chimera's body generates a thick fog. It uses this fog to confuse its prey, snatching those lost in the fog and taking them to the Astral Plane. It attacks using electricity when confronted.

 Appearance

Teumessian is a yellow, nine-tailed beast with five hovering yellow spheres around his body, which vaguely reminisce the drums of the Japanese thunder god, Raijin.

He originates from the fusion of various BEA-C-B37F9-DIV, as seen in File 10 mission "Lost In The Fog".

## Moves

Teumessian has six attack in his moveset.

**Flying Claw:** Teumessian leaps in the air and then attacks by striking with his claws.

**Backflip Kick:** Teumessian dashes towards the character and then attacks with his rear claws by doing a backflip.

**Howl:** Teumessian's howl stuns the Legionis briefly, similarly to other BEA-type chimeras. It can have four different additional effects:

1. **Lightning Storm:** Lighting will continuously strike where the Legionis is for about 10 seconds.
2. **Electric Bullet-Hell:** Casts a flurry of electric pellets, capable of paralyzing, which briefly remain stationary around him for a split-second, and then fling themselves in a straight line towards the player.
3. **Electric Circle:** Summons a circle of the same electric pellets, with him at the center, and cast it around himself.
4. **Summon**: Calls many BEA-C-B37F9-DIV to fight on his side. He only does this once he lost more than 50% HP.

## Strategy

When fighting, your Beast Legion will prove himself useful, more so than the Axe Legion. This is because, while the former denies damage from the Electric Circle and the Lightning Storm pretty easily, the Electric Bullet-Hell attack generates too many bullets for the Axe Legion's shield to withstand. The latter, instead, provides a nice nigh-invulnerability with its auto-dodge and the ability to stun with its Howl.

When Teumessian readies his bullet-hell attack, it is discouraged to try and close in, since there is a chance the howl that precedes the attack stuns you, preventing you from summoning your Axe Legion and therefore getting yourself bombarded by Teumessian's bullets. Furthermore, the less the distance, the less the pellets are spread around and thus you are more likely to get hit by one.

Instead, either keep a reasonable distance and shoot with your Blaster Baton & Arrow Legion or find a place to hide behind. If you have good reflexes you can slow time with your Sword Legion when you notice Teumessian is about to howl, then swiftly close in and cut his energy waves, which appear when he is howling. This will leave him stunned and open for punishment by hand of your strongest Legion (which should be your Axe Legion).

When he summons his canine partners in arms, you can use your Arm Legion's Gravity Storm to gather the whole mob in one place and then dispose quickly of it with a X-Baton Spin Attack with your Axe Legion active.
