The Flailing Ochu is an enemy in Final Fantasy X-2. It is a tad more powerful than the Drowsy Ochu, and is only more dangerous than it when in Oversoul since it has access to Alchemist-Hater and White Mage-Hater. At this point, avoid using any White Mages or Alchemists to lessen the damage the party will take, and focus on hitting it with Fire-elemental attacks to bring it down quickly. Having Poison-resistant equipment will help avoid its dangerous Poison attacks.
Creature Creator
Fiend Tale
In the Fiend Tale endings, a notable Flailing Ochu was created from the spirit of a man who committed many criminal acts in the name of gil. But as fiends cannot buy from stores, Flailing Ochu is dismayed and realizes he saved his money for his girlfriend, Monica, leaving Shinra to find her while learning nothing about money not buying happiness.

Etymology
"Ochu" comes from Dungeons & Dragons; specifically, it is the otyugh. The name in Japanese (and transliterations) comes from the pronunciation; it is pronounced with a short O and T (practically to a ch), making the pronunciation close to "o-chuugh". "オチュー" is the closest the katakana system can get to representing the sound without using compound katakana pronunciations not natively found in Japanese.
