Flan Princess is a boss fought in the Game Boy Advance and later releases at Dragons' Den, found in a monster-in-a-box. It is fought in a group of five, and has access to the abilities Imp Song, Lullaby, Mega Berserk, and Mystery Waltz. It counters all attacks with Entice. Flan Princess is weak to Fire-elemental spells, but is immune to all other elements except Ice and Lightning. Upon defeat, they relinquish Shadow's ultimate weapon, the Oborozuki. A spoil of victory is 55,555 gil: this may be a joke by the developers, as the number 5 is pronounced "Ha" in the Thai language, and "555" is commonly used in Thai social media to mean "laughter".

Etymology[]

The word Flan refers to an open pastry or sponge cake containing a sweet or savory filling. A typical flan of this sort is round, with shortcrust pastry, usually coated with sweet syrup. It is similar to a custard tart or a South African melktert.

The Japanese name of this enemy is a play on words. In Japan the common name for Flan enemies is プリン (purin?), a Japanese word for pudding. Written in Japanese, the English word princess is プリンセス (purinsesu?), sharing the pronunciation of its first three mora with the Japanese word for pudding.

Pudding is a kind of food that can be either a dessert or a savory dish. The word pudding is believed to come from the French boudin, originally from the Latin botellus, meaning "small sausage", referring to encased meats used in medieval European puddings.

Puff pastry, also known as pâte feuilletée, is a flaky light pastry made from a laminated dough composed of dough (détrempe) and butter or other solid fat (beurrage). The butter is put inside the dough (or vice versa), making a paton which is repeatedly folded and rolled out before baking.
