Enemy skill index

In the same order as the monsters that have them, these are the monster special abilities. Although each monster has a special move, some monsters never use them. In fact, some are completely meaningless, since they aren't usable either by the monster itself or through Sketch, Control, or Rage!

Unless otherwise noted, these cannot be reflected (with 'reflect' status), are unaffected by Magicseal Sword (Celes's skill), work normally on undead targets, are affected by the target's defense, and are blockable (through magic evasion). Enemy specials are simply physical attacks with modifications.


Monster Specials

The special "Hit" shows up repeatedly... it's apparently the default, and was left unchanged in a number of cases.
0 クリティカル Critical Critical

Physical attack. +50% damage.

A ninja invisibility/hiding skill, 隠れ身の術 in kanji. Literally approximates to "the art of concealing the body."
4 しんでもらいます You Shall Die Fatal

Instant death attack, no damage if it fails.

This is one of those cases where a ～てもらう (-te morau) expression doesn't translate well. Literally it's saying something more like, "I'm going to have you do me the favor of dying." While it's not exactly an outright demand, it pretty much just as well might be.

Causes 'zombie', no damage.
