Template:Sideicon Template:FFI Enemies The Death Elemental is an enemy in the Dawn of Souls and succeeding versions of the original Final Fantasy. Found in the all bonus dungeons but the Earthgift Shrine, it has no elemental attribute.
Death Elementals typically appear in groups of one to four. They are less powerful palette swaps of the Air Elemental and Water Elemental.
Death Elements attack only with physical attacks, and, despite their name, lack any abilities related to Scourge or Death. Its high Evasion stat make it a difficult enemy to defeat with physical attacks, and its high Agility stat makes it a difficult enemy to run from.
Etymology
