The Demon is a boss in the game Final Fantasy VI. It is a member of the Warring Triad, and as such, is a dangerous opponent. However, it is not as dangerous as most of the other bosses in Kefka's Tower.

[edit] Battle

Its main threat is casting Stop on a party member, followed by Blaster, which inflicts Instant Death, and cannot be blocked by a Stopped character. This can be prevented by equipping Reflect Rings. However, Demon uses some attacks that get around Reflect, such as Metal Cutter and Flare Star. Its special ability, Tyrfing, also deals noticeable damage, and it often counters any attack with Firaga, however, this will be reflected back with Reflect Rings equipped. The best strategy is to cast Blizzaga, Thundaga, or Bio on it, or use defense ignoring attacks such as Flare or Ultima. Hastega can also be helpful, as can summoning Zona Seeker.

Demon itself is vulnerable to Stop, which is very helpful in preventing it from attacking at all, however its auto-Haste status ensures that it won't last as long as it would on normal enemies.

[edit] Trivia

• Ultima Weapon in Final Fantasy VIII bears a similar appearance to Demon.
• Demon is the only member of the Warring Triad whose battle sprite faces a different direction than his overworld sprite. This is likely because Demon's overworld sprite faces to the right, which would make his battle sprite face away from the party, unless it was a back attack.
