Template:Sideicon Template:FFXIII Enemy Flanitor is an enemy in Final Fantasy XIII. It can be found in Palumpolum and onboard the Palamecia. They can usually be found in groups with Flanborg, who will usually attack the party while the Flanitor heals the Flanborgs with Rescue. They are known for their distinct appearance, wearing a helmet with a siren on it that goes off whenever they encounter the party or when they use Rescue to heal a damaged ally of theirs.
Etymology
Flanitor is a portmanteau of "flan" and "janitor." Flan is a recurring enemy type in the series.
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.

Trivia
- Interestingly, a Flanitor never uses Rescue on itself, implying it was bred specifically to provide care for others with little concern for itself (much like a doctor whose only concern is their patients).
