Once tamed, the Flanitor becomes a Medic. Its development is relatively quick, and it has a high Magic stat. The Flanitor learns the useful Improved Cure II ability, as well as Esunada. It is most effective against foes that frequently cast debuffs. Its one negative quality is its low HP.

Etymology
Flanitor is a portmanteau of "flan" and "janitor." Flan is a recurring enemy type in the Final Fantasy 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.
