Apanda, also known as Apprehendr, is a boss and one of the Demons of the Rift in Final Fantasy V, appearing at the library of the Interdimensional Rift after opening the book on the table.
In the Anthology version, Apanda's name is Apprehendr, but when Ifrit is summoned and Apanda talks, what is displayed is "Apanda: Ifrit, I'm scared!".
Stats
Edit
Battle
Edit
Apanda's attack pattern is similar to that of the Byblos; it will use physical attacks, Thread, Magic Hammer, Wind Slash, Discord and Confuse. It will usually counter physical attacks with Protect or Drain and will counter magical attacks with Toad or Drain.
Just like Byblos in the First World, Apanda fears Ifrit, and will pause attacking for one turn every time he is summoned (followed by the text "Gah, Ifrit! Scary!").
Strategy
Edit
Fire-elemental attacks work best, especially Ifrit. Apanda can be used to learn Magic Hammer.

Etymology
Edit
Given its appearance in the Great Library as a palette swap of Byblos, Apanda is likely supposed to be Greek άπαντα apanta, meaning "complete works".
